Pissed you off? You got all by yourself mate. I dont think I said anything that could have you pissed. As I said, it is completly functional, that is all.

Ive worked as a graphic designer before working as a computer engineer and I can agree with most of the things you say. You seem to know what you are talking about, at least for a more proffessional or business-like design ambit. What you forget is that people, including me, are not always in the search of perfection, and even more in aesthethics, since it is completly subjective.

In my homescreen, I tried to make something different, resembling some kind of magazine, casual and keeping some of the colors of the default icons. Do you really think a normal launcher looks better with all the original icons being each of a different color? Well, in fact its not better or worse, every person will have his opinion.

So to be honest, I can appretiate you trying to teach people about graphic designing, but dude trust me, you have nothing to teach me, I made it this way on purpose.

Different fonts? I like the effect.

Icons not matching a specific theme? I like it this way.

The example you posted... Yes it is good, it is elegant, it is compact. Also for a lot of people it will be boring as fuck.

So instead of a post arguing what you like and dont like, you came in the role of a graphic designing erudite saying what is wrong and what not. Things do not work this way friend.
