What UI design trend do you hate the most?
I personally hate rounded corners and shadows added everywhere. Makes most things look crappy and smudged.

Thin scrollbars. Why do I have to aim for a tiny area to click on a scroll bar? Other UI elements aren't that narrow.

1 1 ReplyThis is bad UX:
- It's disabled by default
- It has a different function (open link in new tab)
- It can be intercepted and disabled by the webpage
- Not as intuitive as a scrollbar

I rarely do, but they are very handy for quickly scanning a long document (drag the scroll bar until I see a header, stop, read the header, and keep going).
