Ever used Win 7? Way better, and not a candy UI.
- evoke4908 2y agoAero is like the definition of candy
- layer8 2y agoNot of candy (like XP), but of eye candy maybe.
- fourteenfour 2y agoWhat? I really like Win 7 but it is for sure one of the best early examples of a "candy" ui. The close button looks like a jolly rancher and everything is glassy looking. If you are talking about "eye-candy" it also stretches far into that territory with title bar blurs, drop shadows and transparency effects across the OS.
