Hi Gustav: It is not Linux, that is just the core, it is the many distros that are available. You can pick and choose and then tweak to you hearts content. You can have your old style "raised" interface or have it flattened, it is all up to you, as a user or service/support tech. Just a one line script or a few clicks can change your entire UI. That is the beauty of using this OS environment....there are unlimited choices. The only thing that is missing on the PC versions are the gesturing controls but no one uses gesturing controls on a PC, do they? ;-) Jim -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 1:05 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Skeuomorphic UIs are dead? Apple to follow MS Win8UI design principles with iOS7? Hi Shamil Skeuomorphism sure looks dead. And thanks for that. After the introduction of Metro/Modern UI, I was convinced that in a few years skeuomorphism would be so much yesterday. The new design of iOS settles this. Now the Linux people are the left behinds ... /gustav -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] På vegne af Salakhetdinov Shamil Sendt: 11. juni 2013 08:54 Til: Discussion of Hardware and Softw Emne: [dba-Tech] Skeuomorphic UIs are dead?
