No, please do. Explain to users why you need that, and why you feel you are important enough to bypass and ignore all of the existing design guidelines and patterns of whatever OS I'm running on. And why you feel you have to use up all of my CPU and memory to do so.

For the last time, "existing design guidelines and patterns" is a myth. Even Apple only really hits that (and barely) on iOS; MacOS UI consistency is a mess.

Furthermore, most people do not care about this, and the value of marketing with a sleek design vastly outweighs any benefit of conforming to system components UI.

If literally every Electron app fixed memory issues and correctly placed OK/Cancel dialog buttons, I'd be fine with it for the rest of my life - and I write native code for a living. ;P

"For the last time, "existing design guidelines and patterns" is a myth."

No, they aren't.

"MacOS UI consistency is a mess."

Not really. Most small developer programs I use follow these. It makes it really easy to know what to do to accomplish something.

"Furthermore, most people do not care about this"

[Citation Needed]. I think most people would prefer to not have to learn a new UI from scratch everytime they want to use a different app.

"and the value of marketing with a sleek design vastly outweighs any benefit of conforming to system components UI."

What is this "value"? How does that help me accomplish my tasks?

"If literally every Electron app fixed memory issues and correctly placed OK/Cancel dialog buttons, I'd be fine with it for the rest of my life"

You mean, if every Electron app stopped being Electron?
