The end of the nice GTK button
I agree 100% with the author, the old GTK button was gorgeous, it will be missed.<p>&gt; I have had to explain to people tons of times that the random word in the UI somewhere in an application is actually a button they can press to invoke an action.<p>This is one of my biggest complaints with the super flat modern designs. Many widgets lost their skeuomorphic depth, which encoded a lot if visual information (the clickability, the current status), but in many cases nothing was added to supplant the loss of those visual cues, so now it is just a label (or a label in a white or grey box) and there is no way of knowing if it is clickable or its current status.
