Just go back to earlier versions of iTunes. Ignore any ideas of it looking "outdated" — look how all the controls fit nicely on a full-window-width toolbar. Clearly labeled. You will NOT mess up here in using iTunes.

The ONLY thing to lose real estate is by resizing the window; not resizing any sidebars. *THIS* is good/standard design. How did we stray away from such basic UX?

That's the part I don't understand.

AND they used bottom bars too!!! Design that WORKS.

This is a core system app interrupting you, promoting a sale by a movie-ticketing company, to push you to go see the platform vendor’s new movie.

Why not just pop up random ads all the time, always creating new channels that everyone’s opted-into by default so you can never keep up with opting out of them all?

Oh wait, that’s already what happens.

Apple’s as bad as everyone else. They don’t respect their customers — we’re fodder.

They truly have no standards anymore.

Here's a side by side just to show my two codepaths. I'll be happy to finally get rid of the SwiftUI one (which, of course, has bizarre new interaction bugs on iOS 26, continuing its flaky history). Pay no heed to the layout or level of blurriness; neither are fully ready for the new design language

Achievement unlocked: Full grown migraine attack.

Had my first glimpse of what an actual migraine might feel like during my second covid infection, but yesterday one appeared just appeared out of the blue. I hope this doesn't evolve to a recurring feature, quite terrible. My heart goes out to all of you who have to deal with this on a regular basis.

Artist unknown, but some morning whimsy

#StreetArt

The photo depicts a small, black cat peeking out from between paving stones. 

The cat is drawn or painted, creating an optical illusion within the pavement.

It features prominent eyes, a small nose, and pink inner ears.

Its paws are visible, suggesting it's holding onto the edge of the "hole".

The surrounding area consists of interlocking grey paving stones.

Surround might be the most exciting #KineticFont out of the four proof of concepts by @simontruffer
Also the physical knob and slider to manipulate the #VariableFont

Just look at the difference between the colourful toolbar of Pages in iWork ’09 and the poorly-contrasted, smaller, monochrome toolbar in Pages 14.1… It’s not a matter of looking cooler. It’s a matter of, which of the two is the more accessible, the more immediate?

Having all these floating panels covering and obscuring the content makes me incredibly uncomfortable!

I actually start feeling claustrophobic and stressed the longer I look at this UI.

For some weir reason the programming games by zachtronics are super appealing to me. I don't really know exactly why when there are real microcontrollers with real wiring, purpose and projects next to me, but still I tend to sink some hours into shenzen i/o O_o.
