Begging

Just absolutely BEGGING developers of Linux applications, desktop environments, whatever:

Please recognise that "Liquid Glass" should be treated as a cautionary tale to be avoided

Do you want to give your users eye strain?

Because as someone with astigmatism, I'm just looking at screenshots of that bullshit and my head hurts already

Spicy UI take:

I want to be able to easily see the UI elements on my computer so that I can interact with them

Even if I have imperfect eyesight

So like

Opaque buttons and windows and scroll bars of a reasonable size with sharp edges so that my eyes can focus

I don't want the UI elements to disappear or blend in or for whatever is in the background to be visible through them

I need them to be easily visible because my eyes are shit

Thanks

@researchfairy fwiw there's a "reduce transparency" mode that does what it says on the tin
