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.

Wayland got rid of a lot of the stupidity of apps thinking they know better what to do than the user, fortunately.

I noticed that GNOME 3 has become much better about not stealing focus (one of the reasons I put up with the Archer aesthetic), but I thought that that was a GNOME design decision. So it's a Wayland thing?

On X11 much of the window management was considered a hint, but the application could just ignore it and do whatever it wanted.

On Wayland applications can't do stuff like self position - they can send some hints, but the compostior is in full control of what to do with them.

I use tiling window managers, and applications doing whatever has become more and more of an issue with ion3 over the last years - together with stuff changing the display resolution (they can't do that on wayland). Now with Hyprland on wayland pretty much all issues are gone.

Excellent! Thanks for the explanation. I haven't kept up with the technical side of Wayland development, and I'm glad to learn this.
