It seems like a you problem, that you can't function in an app that highlights the current chosen option with a light bluish color. ๐
Oh, BTW, I know a lot of people using LO, that hasn't got perfect vision. They would not be able to navigate in a toolbar where there only is a slight shift in the light of a color. It's perfectly good UI design to make it the way LO does...
There's clearly plenty people in this very post complaining about the UI/UX of LO as being bad. You can have anecdotal examples of people liking it but I bet most of the ones that don't also have more examples.
Of course that it's a us problem. Problem is, us is the huge majority, and if the huge majority thinks that the UI is bad, it kinda is...
Do you know the difference for something being bad, and something being rudimentary? Show me an UI/UX that doesn't have a lot of people complaing about something?!?
Oh, are you the spokesperson for "the huge majority"? Please show me where that was decided... Talk for yourself, don't try to claim the right to speak for others.
Whoa my bad I didnt' know I could just change every setting and spend hours to make it look like something else does out of the box.
Well, it takes me about 3 minutes to make it look exactly like I want it to... So yeah, your bad...
