      Holo was finally starting to look really good. Google had got around to making most of their apps Holo, they had improved all the rough edges and inconsistencies, and then they pushed out Material design.

      Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate material design, but it seems like such a wasted effort restarting all that nonsense again.

    I really don’t understand the Material allure.

    I build web apps as a job and the impression I get is that everyone wants Material, “because” - but I don’t know if anyone wants it other than “because” it’s the buzzword of the day.

    And it always sucks because the clients always say, “Follow Material guidelines BUT make this smaller, make this less round, use this font we paid for, make the buttons different, and also customize all these components”.

    It’s dumb.

    Sadly Firefox is going the complete other way and not even introducing a smidgen of Material You in its redesign.

    I’m ok with material design (even have a Pixel 7, so I see it all the time), but I really wish the accent colours would have a little more saturation.

    No matter what my wallpaper is, my buttons all just kinda look like off-white, and I think that makes it less legible, particularly annoying because my eyesight seems to be getting more iffy as the years go on.

    I just want the option to have a more vibrant accent colour, as opposed to looking like a white piece of paper that a smurf has lightly breathed on

      You can choose a more vibrant color in the settings. Swipe on the pallete list and look for more.
