(no title)

They are following the trends of flat design and rounded corners, which I don’t really mind. I’m more bothered by the fact that nothing is aligned: the GitHub logo, the breadcrumb, the horizontal menu and the issue title are all on different verticals. Looks messy.

We'll all get used to it, but it's harder now to see what is a button and what isn't, e.g. only 2 of these are clickable https://imgur.com/a/wR9xsvT

Wow, that's pretty bad. Logical consistency was clearly not a guiding principle of this redesign.

This was among the first things I noticed. Here it is with vertical lines added https://i.imgur.com/EVSTdLA.png

I felt the same, and even made the same image with vertical lines in my feedback to GitHub while the change was still in the preview stage.

I installed a custom css user style extension just to fix it. Here's a link to my comment with example before and after along with the CSS needed for chrome or firefox: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23624292

The grayscale reduction and loss of contrast is a modern design anti-pattern they have adopted. Makes reading things more difficult

the alignment is so jarring its mind boggling how this got shipped.
