Last week they made a post to Building Windows 8 and deleted it shortly after. It had a few caps of the new style in it. Here's one I dug out of my cache: http://imgur.com/hvvQZ It looks sort of like a hybrid of Whistler and Aero styles. It's nice enough (though I've always liked the Whistler style) but not exactly a massive improvement over Aero. >>> Harris has relatively little to say beyond describing the Aero as having the "appearance of highly rendered glass, light sources, reflections, and other graphically complex textures." But he does add this: "This style of simulating faux-realistic materials...looks dated and cheesy now, but at the time, it was very much en vogue."<<< To be honest I didn't think Aero had dated all that badly. Is this just a way of framing Apple software (which is known for that stuff) as dated and cheesy? Or is he making a valid point here? |
