Material Design Guidelines for Dark Mode

I'm just not a fan of Material. I've tried to like it, but it just won't stick.

I know a lot of people think Material=Professional. But I think Material looks more like a small business using a drag-and-drop home page builder. Yes, that goes for the Android interface, too.

I never understood the hatred for skeuomorphism. It's intuitive. It's pretty. It's colorful. It's artistic. A bunch of stacked squares isn't any of those things.

Fortunately, I still have a launch day iPhone that I occasionally use for music, and it can't be "upgraded" out of its skeuomorphic splendor.

IMO, when well done, Material design looks like skeuomorphism for movement.

That is probably correlated with my taste for minimalist/stylized animation/graphics.

Arguably often it appears just low effort, empty and forgettable.
