Bleach white minimalism is the thing I lament the most about 21st century design. And, when designers reluctantly put color and contrast back in, they tend to just give you light grays.

I'm looking forward to the return of baroque UX. It's been a few hundred years, but what the hay.

Well, regarding the color thing, I figured it was a taste thing, and mine might be outdated or something.
But I particularly like it when I open a new window, it appears on top of the old ones, it looks like it's accepting input (the cursor blinks) but when I type, nothing happens. I have to actually click inside it for it to actually gain actual focus.
I'm thinking in particular of new Edge windows.

I use a custom active window title bar color but frustratingly Google Chrome is about the only application I notice that doesn't respect it.

They won't change until they have competition.
...and let's not forget removing color from the active window's titlebar, so it was eye-searingly white like all the others, then reluctantly adding it back as an optional setting in an "update" later.

When stuff like that seems to happen almost regularly, I really wonder who's running the show at MS. Destroying two decades of UI refinement takes active (and IMHO almost malicious) effort, not mere ignorance.
