Are you guys tired of the "Material You" design? I don't really like the huge paddings on everything aspect of it. Also a lot of it feels too flat. What do you guys think?

I love Material You when apps are designed to work with Monet color theming and use the default system navigation bar. Apps that deviate from that become an eye sore.

That being said, Material isn't my favorite design language for mobile OSes. I still prefer interfaces based on layers of gaussian blur, like iOS 7, Windows' Aero and similar.

I would love a phone UI that was more about those glass like layers stacking and blurring nicely.

I loved the look of Vista, it feels like macOS has been dipping its toe in the glass look for years but never actually taking the plunge.

I always style my terminals to have a strong Gaussian blur behind the window and as few decorations as possible. I think to me the Tron Legacy desk computer UI is the mood board I’d want for a new UI.

Oh man, don’t even remind me of iOS 7. So much promise, but it really hasn’t panned out how they (probably) envisioned it.
