Re:The Dilemma of Icons by ChrisMarshallNY on Thursday August 24, 2023 @06:55PM (#37255614)
I learned the hard way, that iconic UI is probably not the best way to go.

But designers pretty much insist on it, these days, and fun, ensues (and sometimes, F*kN sues).

I have found the best UI, is UI that gets out of the way, and doesn't call attention to itself. There's a reason that waitstaff usually wear black.

An example: I designed this really clever Swift UIKit widget (not SwiftUI)[0].

I keep trying to use it in my projects, and keep removing it, because it's too "in your face."
