See this is my main gripe with modern UI systems. Liquid Glass, One UI, and especially Material You all suffer from the giant, unnecessarily rounded boxes and buttons with tiny text trend.
I’m all for having a click target, but do I really need 48px of padding on a 12px font? Material You is the worst offender imo. I love GrapheneOS but god I hate the Material themed UI.
See I like rounded corners. Give me a couple pixel’s worth of a radius and I’m happy.
Giant bubble boxes I do not like. When four corners meet, there should hardly be a noticeable gap in the corners; anything more than that is too much.
Please make sure you forward this comment to all appropriate parties 🙏🏾

It’s like the UI equivalent of that awful art style, “corporate Memphis” I think. I almost vomit every time I see it
Oh no I had blocked that from my memory lol
I’m getting corporate training webinar flashbacks
It’s better than missing the button entirely, but in general that can be solved by not putting a clickable zone directly behind it.
You mean the buttons whose padding just ate the uselessly empty space around them? I don’t see the big deal honestly
Also I like the added functionality that the icon toggles say bluetooth on/off while the text opens the bluetooth menu
Actually you can even turn up text size and turn down display size to get this
Yeah, without any rounding you end up with Modern UI aka Metro. And that was an atrocity. Even Windows 3.1 had very slightly rounded buttons.
A sensible amount of rounding without ridiculous amounts of empty space is the way to go.
.thing { border-radius: 4px; padding: 8px; }That’s usually the sweet spot. Though I usually use
remunits for padding
