What UI design trend do you hate the most? (lemmy.ml)

I personally hate rounded corners and shadows added everywhere. Makes most things look crappy and smudged.

Material You/automatic color themes. I have a huge collection of wallpapers I've built up over the years and now I can only use a select few unless I want the entire phone os to be themed in ugly pastel colors like light brown or yellow or puke green. I literally just want an alternative option to pick my own color scheme or at this point I'd even be happy with the standard blue accent for everything instead of basing the entire os theme on random colors from my wallpaper. I also hate the rounded corners though! Especially the way phone displays are all rounded off and it just absolutely wrecks the resolution of everything. Having a camera sensor in the middle of the screen is kinda annoying too

while I personally quite like material you, I do think it would be neat to be able to create your own palette independent of wallpaper

because yeah, some wallpapers make the background of stuff shit green and eyewateringly vibrant orange for accents

I love the actual UI design with material you compared to the old material and holo design stuff but it's just that automatic coloring that drives me crazy. And to make it worse, I can pick a custom accent color on my phone but it really only changes the quick settings buttons and then everything else is auto themed based on the wallpaper lol it drives me crazy
