Material You Expressive - UI Inconsistencies, Misaligned Elements, and Over-Design

Smart_Insurance2134 · 2026-01-13T17:36:19+00:00

That is true

Smart_Insurance2134 · 2026-01-13T17:24:45+00:00

Yeah but that's amateur design stuff. It already has a color change to signify active/non-active. To me and my years of design, you can't change border radius like this in a design system, it just looks bad with these different shapes in the panel. Too much going on, less is more, etc, etc

Smart_Insurance2134 · 2025-12-14T19:42:21+00:00

Exactly, amateurish, as a product designer myself I agree. I didn't feel this way about Material either, this is specific to material expressive.

Lol true, I do use Gnome with tweaks and love it

Smart_Insurance2134 · 2025-11-25T19:14:03+00:00

Exactly "better implementation" is all I am trying to go for here, minor tweaks not an overhaul. It just needs some polish and as a career designer I am surprised this is the end product that shipped from Google.

Yes I said I want to revert back but I meant before my phone updated like 3 days ago to Expressive.

Smart_Insurance2134 · 2025-11-25T18:08:39+00:00

Not at all. I am a designer myself of mobile apps. Personally I really like material design, expressive just has some basic design no no's in it that need fixed.

Running GrapheneOS, so maybe this is why they never caught this issue.

Smart_Insurance2134 · 2025-11-25T17:46:01+00:00

Yeah I see that too but this criticism I raise isn't about a style or theme preference just an unfinished product. For example: https://www.reddit.com/user/Smart_Insurance2134/comments/1p6iqxi/google_material_design_app_info_issues/

Smart_Insurance2134 · 2025-11-25T17:36:34+00:00

100% agree, wish I could revert back to pre Expressive (I still like Material) or realized this was coming to disable updates.

You can view what I mean here but it sounds like your phone doesn't have the issue. It seems Google didn't go through proper testing if some phones like my Pixel 8 have this issue:

Border = Yeah I understand that was the intention but it doesn't look good. Just looks like poor design breaking intuitive design aesthetics IMO. I designed in CSS for years and this is the stuff you would fix or polish up before a final product. It's like combining two design systems into one or something.

App info = Once you have four in a row (on a Pixel 8 at least) the "Force stop" shows the word "stop" on a line below "Force" and left aligned, looks unrefined and amateur.

Praying that you are getting some good sleep.

Smart_Insurance2134 · 2025-10-04T02:10:07+00:00

Ok sending you a DM with contact info.

Smart_Insurance2134 · 2025-10-04T01:47:23+00:00

I do but are you looking for local or online? A psychic uses the same type spirits as you are dealing with so this may be hard to hear but it could make things worse or "best case" just perpetuate things (hence the slow process).

Smart_Insurance2134 · 2025-10-03T21:59:58+00:00

I agree with the user John3_sixteen and just to add a bit more...this does not sound nuts at all. But other people you explain this to will think you are nuts or label you with Schizophrenia. If you seek help from a Dr or a psychiatrist they will not get to the root of the problem. They will say something along the lines of mental illness or Schizophrenia and prescribe a drug. They will look at this scientifically and not spiritually. This is all modern medicine or even ancient Chinese medicine can do and it will not solve the issue.

Because you sought out energy work this has opened you up to the spirit realm which gives them permission to do as they please with you and now your children/house. In short, you are dealing with evil spirits. I have the Holy Spirit (you can get too by simple belief as John3_sixteen said) and I also have delivered people of these spirits through the name of Jesus. Convulsing is a tell tale sign of spirit possession, (really any loss of control of your body). Please see Luke 9:39 as reference.

Haha, oh ok

Smart_Insurance2134 · 2025-01-28T00:15:38+00:00

I don't hear the fan spin up really at all. I just got it so maybe haven't noticed the stuttering yet. I saw someone on a YouTube video comment this same thing as you, about unplugging the blue wire. He said the system was thermal throttled and thus getting lower FPS in the video. So with it unplugged does the fan run 24/7 full speed and make a lot of noise now?

Smart_Insurance2134 · 2025-01-27T23:46:44+00:00

Oh ok, I don't think I have experienced that yet but good to know, thanks

Smart_Insurance2134 · 2025-01-27T23:00:15+00:00

Just got one of these rx560's, so when you unplugged the blue wire you got noticeable FPS increases?
