minus-squareMummelpuffin ( Mummelpuffin@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 年前I was barely alive in 1998, but I definitely think Win98 was the perfect sort of skeuomorphism, not super showy or maximalist like a lot of skeumorphic design is. It’s like modern minimalism without the suck.
minus-squareAkasazh ( Akasazh@feddit.nl ) linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 年前 skeuomorphism New word learned. For the lazy: it’s a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues (attributes) from structures that were necessary in the original. For instance : a lamp in the shape of a candle, or the folders in a operating system.
