A comment on iOS 7. Parent comment

Isn't the whole point of flat design replacing the loud superfluousness of skeuomorphism's textures with equally jarring psychedelic colour schemes? That's how designers prove their worth, by adding more stuff, right?

Except neither Android nor WP8 follow that assumption/conclusion.

And neither does iOS 7.

I mean, where do you see the: "jarring psychedelic colour schemes"?

If anything the grant-parent brings up the example of the Control Center, which is the opposite of that, just a two-color subdued thing.

Sorry, I wasn't really agreeing with any of the GP comment - I think iOS7-UI was exactly what they needed. A very modern refresh and I think it's sharp (and I love Holo and WP8 has a very unique style certainly).

I don't like the background of CC myself, but I think that's actually because they're letting the hue of the homescreen icons below bleed through too much. It's "neat" but I think it's kinda visually gross :S
