I'd really like more corner types. Back in the tables and sliced images days, we'd have all manner of neat angular borders, and tons of variety. Now it's all squircles everywhere.
Also you still can use your sliced images with `border-image`.
Let's make the (digital) world sharper
On a similar note, fuck the "flat" designs which make buttons indistinguishable.
I've even seen UIs which do use bevels on buttons; but only when hovered-over! I don't want to scan my pointer across the screen hoping to find something interactive, like I'm struggling on Monkey Island!
<table><tr><td><img src="top-left-corner.gif" ....That says nothing about whether rounded-rectangles are "good" or "bad" though.
That was when border-radius already existed.
Of course their older designs didn't have rounded corners because that would have required using images, which would have made the page load slowly: https://web.archive.org/web/19990222172600/http://www.nngrou...
We used to build systems that we wished would stand the test of time. Now we build systems that only last as long as PMs care about them and their warranty period runs out. What do our design choices say about us?
Is there a Bresenham-style algorithm similar to the midpoint algorithm for roundrects that can produce other kinds of squircles?
