Damon L. WakesIt's a rather minor addition in some ways, but for my current project I'm working on a menu that'll allow the player to make some basic tweaks, and generally help the whole thing look more like a serious, complete product and less like something I've rushed out the moment it was functional. <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/ScreenshotSaturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScreenshotSaturday</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/GDevelop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GDevelop</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gamedev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UI</a>

I mean explicitly the <a href="https://mastodon.zaclys.com/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.zaclys.com/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UI</a> part. For example with <a href="https://mastodon.zaclys.com/tags/appium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#appium</a> . It's hard to find this kind of information. <a href="https://mastodon.zaclys.com/tags/boostswelcome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boostswelcome</a> :)

ArchimageI see what they are trying to accomplish, but the UI sucks (to put it in understandable terms).<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#apple</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/mail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mail</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/ux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ux</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/ui" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ui</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/failure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#failure</a>

Andy PIt took me an unbelievable amount of effort to get a gradient on screen. So, the way to do it (after much research and growling) is to make a gradient resource, then use that item as the texture in a StyleBoxTexture resource, basically the same concept as a CSS border-image. But I didn't need the slices. AND THEN apply that to a button. <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/border-image" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/border-image</a><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Godot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Godot</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GameDev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CSS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UI</a>

argv minus oneI am annoyed by fake progress bars.I do not ever want to see a progress bar rapidly advance to 90% and then slow to a crawl unless the operation really has progressed and then slowed to a crawl.If you do not know how much of the operation has been completed and how much remains, then show something other than a f**king progress bar. 🤬And yes, <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> image viewer, I'm talking about you. 🫵That is all.

ChristophExpanding a PDF in <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Miro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Miro</a> has the most confusing <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UI</a>. I never get it right.

Greg KaplanOne last speculation.In <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/visionOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#visionOS</a> there's no concept of Light/Dark Mode <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UI</a>. Apple's new glass material system responds dynamically to background content while maintaining contrast and legibility.It's great for passthrough video and all virtual environments have a light and dark mode similar to how many iOS and mac wallpapers have light and dark mode. background goes dark - so does UI.For users it'd be a subtle change. For devs, it could simplify light/dark mode design if they adopt glass.

Greg KaplanI think <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#apple</a> designers did a great job with the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/visionOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#visionOS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/designSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#designSystem</a>. Their video talks all about it.If there's any hints to what visionOS "inspired" means, it'd likely be coming directly from the source.Here's what they have to say about app icons:- They react to people interacting with them - They take on environmental effects - They have 3D depth with parallax layers - Each layer is a square image the OS does the circular mask.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ui" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ui</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/design" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#design</a><a href="https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10076/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10076/</a>

Greg KaplanThoughts on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ios19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ios19</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/design" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#design</a> rumors:Jon Prosser posted up a mockup. Gurman claims it's not accurate and I'm inclined to believe him. Rumors say the redesign will be <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/visionOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#visionOS</a> inspired but the mock doesn't follow the rules of VisionOS. Apple never nests the glass effect on flat surfaces. The mocked top buttons are not a thing in visionOS and frankly just look bad.The glass effect is used to give contrast to windows floating over other windows or content.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ui" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ui</a><a href="https://9to5mac.com/2025/03/25/ios-19-leaked-screenshot-interface/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://9to5mac.com/2025/03/25/ios-19-leaked-screenshot-interface/</a>

Michael GaleFeeling like you have to include <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> in your already perfectly fine application is one thing, but putting it in the position where the returning user would expect to see legacy <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UI</a> (read: the part that always used to work) should be met with throwing whoever planned the feature into <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a> jail. Yes, I was looking at <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DuckDuckGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DuckDuckGo</a>. Yes, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/UblockOrigin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UblockOrigin</a> stepped in to remove this annoying feature.

Michael GaleQuite enjoying this UI pattern.

You have a toggle for exclusive states "foo" and "bar" and the state name in the button. Clicking the button changes the state, and the name displayed inside the button. Is the name in the button the current state, or the state you want to change to? What is your expectation?

BørgeI wish there was a modifier to Tab that you could hold to jump directly to the next text input, instead of the regular jump to the next interactable element.The number of times I have to hit Tab multiple times to get across linkes or other stuff to get to what I actually want to do is too damned high.<a href="https://tutoteket.no/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UI</a> <a href="https://tutoteket.no/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a> <a href="https://tutoteket.no/tags/computer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computer</a> <a href="https://tutoteket.no/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://tutoteket.no/tags/Gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gnome</a>
