are floating controls that good? I mean, over bottom bars

[–] TheFrirish@jlai.lu 6 points 10 hours ago

I like it because it's kind of ugly but feels likes it's going to be iconic

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

I like it. Takes a chance at being original.

2018 - adds digital wellbeing features to help you disengage from your device

2025 - makes the entire interface more engaging to help keep you engaged

It looks nice. It’s like having a casino in your pocket.

Are these more design options? Or will we be forced to have an "expressive" tacky looking design

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 15 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

C'mon. By now, you should know it'll be forced, and we'll lose more functionality at the same time.

I don't see why they can't just make the system more customisable. This stuff is highly stylised and ugly in my opinion.

But I don't like bright. Everything dark please.

The biggest thing for me is it looks like they are finally giving us back more than 4 quick settings in the notification pull down. They'll probably mess it up somehow, but one can dream right?
