>windows ui is so inconsisten----
really? is there not a solution to this?

>is there not a solution to this?
kill eBussy and CSDs

>>107138380 (OP)
the solution is to have every program be gtk2

It is the programmer's choice, nay, DUTY to make their program as gaudy and inconsistent with your desktop theme as humanly possible.

server window decorations

what api gen / design language is picrel?

This is why windows won, backwards compatibility, and GUI. Linux lost btw.

>is there not a solution to this?
No. The Windows UI kvetching never made sense to me either considering I actually use my computer for work and leisure instead of thinking about how the text boxes in the control panel are different than the ones in the settings menu.

>>107138660
Looks like XP set to dark title bar color IMO

>>107138660

Anon that file selector with files on the left and directories on the right is older than win9x.
Rest is just normal 11 light theme with custom title bar color.

>>107138660
Part of the reason they don't change some of these dialogs, is that in enterprise environments there are scripts/automation that have been working for 30 years on the layout. Regular consumers would never use the OBDC Database dialogs anyways, so why not?
Mind you, I have no dog in this fight, I don't use Windows anymore.

>>107138720
I was focused on the title bar

>>107138472
kek

>>107138472
This is good because it's a visual indicator of the quality of what part of the OS you're dealing with

>>107138660
Wait, I remember this.

>>107138472
Metro is peak UI design. Instead of backtracking and jeetifying Windows, Microsoft should have doubled down on updating the entire OS to Windows 8 standards.

>>107138380 (OP)
Those are all made by different people. Windows is (allegedly) a single product by a single company.

>>107138399
unironically based

I dislike windows a lot. I truly do.

>>107139485
They added 4 buttons. True innovation!

>>107138704
wut. these are all from the inside of radically different programs. imagine being frustrated that microsoft paint has different options to msword.
OP is only showing the graphical borders, which is completely different.

not use gnome (mostly)

>>107138472
I don't understand why they have such a hard time making it so that older(NT/9x/XP) applications have working dark modes.
You could do that via the windows classic theme option back in the day

>>107140900
retard

why does it matter? the program does the thing

Same shit happens on Windows.
Nothing stops your GUI toolkit drawing decorations differently. Not sure what your point is OP.

>>107138380 (OP)
gnome is fixing this. finally standardization of linux is happening..

>>107141196
How is it fixing that
GTK applications under Plasma have drop shadows
Qt applications under GNOME don't

>>107141165
>dark text on dark background
lol

>>107138472
Half of these don't exist and the UI is almost 90% consistent as of 25h2.

>>107140568
>They added 4 buttons
Unironically the reason why that dialog got stuck to the nt3.51 version. Any update would have carried the cost of adding again those 4 buttons

>>107138380 (OP)
>is there not a solution to this?
Yeah it's called XLibre.

>>107139485
>>107138660
It's the win32/win16 caryover of the "file open dialog" from old DOS CUA apps.

CUA was peak UI by the way. Everything nice about both the old Windows GUIs and old Motif UIs on Unix/Linux came from it.

>>107141110
>>Please don’t theme our apps
Please don't bother me with your shit if you think my computer belongs to you just because we decided to share software.

>>107138472
why wont it die

Just use gnome.
Adwaita is the de facto style for modern Linux programs.

>>107141245
Qt is not open source, you should not be using it in the first place.

>>107141165
ew looks shite, winblow cant into dark theme

>>107138380 (OP)
Consistency is bad, no really. Why would you want everything to look the same? Seems very soulless if you ask me.

>>107144414
>de facto style
No. It's the de jour style. The de facto style is just doing everything in Xterm because the people who claim to be authoritative are invariably to incompetent to put anything serious together.

>>107138380 (OP)
macos doesn't have this problem

Use case for consistency? What makes you think aesthetic is a metric?

>>107143309
hello saar

>>107146088
I don't even use Windows you retarded nigger, now be a good boy and make an updated image of the menus.

99% of Qt is open-source, and 98% of it is LGPL. Barely 1% of it is GPL-only, and the rest commercial.

>>107138380 (OP)
Jesus, and troonix fags had the nerve to moan about MacOS having different degrees of rounded corners. This is a disaster.

>>107141165
this is cool and all until you run into a program that forces a white background or black text

>>107138660

I will never use an Access database as an ODBC data source the same way again...
