Aqua. The GUI for Mac OS X. Where do I start? Words really do fail to convey precisely how I feel about Aqua, but I'll try. I hate the dialog boxes. I hate the grey stripes and translucent effects. I hate the shiny blue buttons and the sickening way they pulsate. I hate "brushed metal". I hate the "cute" effects like dialog boxes that slip down from the top of windows and then back up again, or windows doing that perspective zoomy thing. I hate the colourful pinwheel cursor. I hate the menus with their acres of pointless whitespace and I hate the new Apple font that they use. I hate the new wastebasket icon. I hate the Dock. I hate the way that windows and I especially hate the way that even menus and submenus have FUCKING DROP SHADOWS ON ALL SIDES. I hate the "traffic light" buttons and the way their functions appear when you hover the mouse over them. I need no justification for my hate. It's all fucking ugly, and I fucking hate it. The day I pay Apple for garbage like Aqua is the day I slit my own throat. Love, Earle. -- Earle Martin hex on irc.perl.org http://purl.oclc.org/net/earlemartin/
