I don’t know who in the linux community one day decided capsules, rounded edges, and neon colors was a “good look” but I just find it so tacky and amateurish and I’m probably alone in that thinking.
A lot of people prefer rounded to sharp corners, if given the option. And given that sharp corners are the most bland default for a UI, I’m not even sure how one can call rounded corners amateurish while defending sharp ones: if you put no effort in an interface whatsoever, you end up with sharp corners.
I absolutely love my bland rectangles with text. Never changed my Waybar theme and I have no rounding on my windows. It’s my 15 corner pixels of screen real estate, go away with your fanciness.
That's how default Waybar looks like if you never installed it.
Idk, i do like some rounded corners in my bar and its widgets. The sharp square corners makes it feel like something is missing. Maybe adding a border or outline would fix that, but i don’t like using those. I never tried Jetbrains as a font though. I decided to try Mononoki years ago and have never switched to any other mono font since then. After all this time it’s still pleasing to my eyes.

Also Jetbrains mono as the defacto go to font.
For the same reason people don’t want to live in concrete boxes

And that’s pretty much still what my waybar looks like. I really don’t mind it at all, it’s small and minimalistic.
That’s the same design language windows macos ios and android use so idk where you get amateurish
That still doesn’t mean that it’s not a shitty design language that looks like somebody just discovered the circle tool in gimp.
…yeah… About that circle tool…
Hahahahah. Yeah, indeed…

I hate it. I just want vanilla sway; and i want everything else to look like it too.
Because they are good look.
