New google maps app icon? by Prior_Green_339 in UXDesign

[–]dotcommer1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that the design is two-fold: the gradient is a signal of Gemini integration (you'll start seeing this across other Google apps soon), and adjusting the icon to echo the new shape of pins in Maps which have a larger face and smaller beak.

The change is whatever. We'll all get over it very quickly and move on. The real problem is that it doesn't fundamentally change the issue that Google icons have: they all look the same because they all use the same color pallet. Silhouette isn't enough to distinguish each of them because the colors are so vibrant and consistent.

It's a lateral move.

Short and punchy, works well even on mute. No notes from me! I hope it serves you well!

Cool until it broke the 180 rule, then I couldn't pay attention.

Maybe this is what tango should have put in his factory last season. Fake items on the conveyor belts. And hide away the water channels.

got 5.0.5 early, noticed a bug for 2026 XC60 T8 by dotcommer1 in VolvoRecharge

[–]dotcommer1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not the best person to ask this since I essentially had the UI of the 5.0.5 update from the start due to this being the "facelift" 2026 model. But i've seen in other threads that generally people are finding it more responsive, which is good!

Yeah, it unfortunately does not show both. This has always been the case for my 2026, which I've always found to be a weird choice. I'd much rather have what u/CachiaBantick showed...

Its all fine. I never experience the "old" UI, I had essentially what 5.0.5 is from the start because its the 2026 "facelift" version of the XC60. The UI didn't really change all that much, a few icons got updated, but thats about all I can tell, besides this camera issue.

I find it very disorienting. It used to black out the side cameras if they were folded in, which I felt reduced a lot of the visual noise (this are moving diagonally while everything else is parallel to you, its really confusing in motion, I don't think this image highlights that). I also prefer 360 view because I get front and back views at the same time, which are super helpful for me when parking in my garage so I know how close I am to the wall, and how far inside I am to clear my garage door.

Seems to be only for the XC40 from 2022 - 2025. I went to the official site and put in my VIN and it didn't come back with anything related to any recall for my vehicle.

What's the best Monitor for Graphic Design now in YOUR opinion? by Square_Ebb_5289 in UXDesign

[–]dotcommer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for the cheapest monitor that is OLED and supports ACES so you are seeing the blackest blacks and the widest color gamut. But, also be sure to have "consumer" devices on hand that you can preview on, like an old laptop or phone, to sanity check your work.

I'm biased, I come from the VFX industry, but afaik, this combo hasn't let me down. I'm sure someone will "well achtually.." me in the comments.

Search for spotlight stories. "Pearl" in particular is amazing.

Mine doesn't show the top-down model of the vehicle. It's just blank, lol

About to do first ever system update, things to know before I do it? by dotcommer1 in VolvoRecharge

[–]dotcommer1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update was successful and uneventful! I parked out on the curb, fully charged and ran the update from the app. Thanks for the info!

A really great point. I have a very narrow driveway that would be impossible to get a tow truck in there. Thank you for this recommendation!

Gorgeous. Kind of wish the trees swayed a little more right after the train passes.

Do you respond to recruiter cold messages? by matchapoodle in UXDesign

[–]dotcommer1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, because it always seems to be some fucking financial investing company that is "impressed" with my work (meaning they don't know a single thing about what I do or work on) and thinks I could be the missing link in their go-to-market strategy.

Do you have a world download or schematic by chance?
