Darn, even GNOME jumped on the let's-make-the-UI-flat bandwagon.<p>To be honest I'm lost for words here: what's pushing this trend to make the actionable items blend with the content in such a confusing way?<p>I understand modernization but I'd really love to get a UX designer point of view here: what's the problem being tackled away by flattening all the actionable items here? What are we gaining in terms of usability?
there's a lot of ui here i like. making window bars that boast good content, that show available actions, is a great way to avoid making each modal or each window find it's own design patterns for where to feature it's core actions.
