![]() I guess you mean skeuomorphic, with heightened 3D presence caused by heavy use of light and shadow - roughly, the sort of effect you would get from a static rendering of a cheap 3D model in a Unity mobile game. A shorter discussion in retrospective occurred when it was brought up again in 2018. It did leave an extensive debate as precedent for what glyph variations are to be used for, namely not localization as the proposal had largely intended. but ultimately wasn't acted upon (C.21.1 of ) The proposal went through two rounds of UTC, …that there are separate codepoints for only the single-storied glyphs, meaning only fonts that assign the double-storied glyphs to the original ASCII codepoints can contrast the variations. Q: Can all glyph variations be represented with variation sequences? Variation sequences for double-storied 'a' and 'g' were proposed, as part of the only Unicode proposal with substantial Latin glyph variations, to address the problem raised by the answer to the FAQ, Another slip-up: ideographic should modify unified CJK, not the Latin letters. They aren't! Good catch I'd assumed from the example. I find this tool handy for listing the Unicode characters in a string.Įdit: An easy way to add the variation selector without a method for Unicode input (though there's a registry hack for Windows to enable Unicode alt codes): put the emoji in an address bar, then add the URL-encoded variation selector, Sequences also exist for ideographic variations like single- or double-storey 'a' and 'g', unified CJK, and miscellaneous ones such as serifs for certain mathematical characters. Some emoji render the text presentation by default you can choose the emoji presentation for those using U+FE0F VARIATION SELECTOR-16. This only works on emoji for which a variation sequence is defined. Some touch keyboards have the text-style variations in the flyouts. Unicode already has a way to specify that emoji should be rendered black-and-white for consistency with surrounding text: affixing the combining character U+FE0E VARIATION SELECTOR-15 (examples). But websites… closing them stops them and today many websites are basically apps. So it’s less clear what you’re doing on them. Phones don’t have the same UI at all as windowed devices. On a phone, you don’t really stop the application you just shift view back to Home Screen (you can force close but it’s not really needed). Meanwhile, minimizing the app keeps it just shifts the view. On a traditional computer, closing the window stops the application and it’s done. One example is the “x” to close a window. Especially websites and internet activités. At the same time, we’re generating new patterns that aren’t grounded in historic imagery (and maybe have no research at all) and this is hard for everyone. Many here on HN who grew up and professionally use desktop OSes have lamented the changes (“they’re bringing iOS to the Mac!”) that’s simply because we already had an idea of what idioms and UI patterns to look for. Today, the UI is more graphic and more simple than ever before BUT it’s decreasingly connected to the expectations of desktop computing. ![]() If I handed her a Mac (or god forbid windows) she would be way more confused. She has no idea how the pictures of her grandchildren end up on the screen with the envelope button (Email App). The first “computer” my grandmother used was an iPad. I’m very angry at companies that don’t test changes with old people whose life and health at this point depends on being able to use digital services. And the worst thing is that when she can’t achieve something she needs to (like pay a bill), her blood pressure goes up, and she has to take medications with serious side effects. With more black and white, I even can’t tell her what color to look for. While I have seen another comment: ,why?’’ and agree with it, I’d like to expand on it.įor a long time I thought that switching away from 3d buttons, getting to less colors was only frustrating me and other techies who like how things were done before (I love the original iPhone aesthetics for example).īut a few months ago my father died, my mother is left alone 73 years old, far from me, and I try to help her through phone (and sometimes remote sessions), but it’s extremely frustrating that she can’t tell me what buttons there are on the screen, because she can’t make a difference between buttons and text. ![]()
