Google Meet's New "Carnival of Buttons" Design Update - Clown Mode Engaged!
By Gizmo Gizzard, Published 5 hours ago
Oh, the jesters at Google have finally decided to "up" their game with Google Meet, or should we now call it, Google Clown Fiesta? They've revamped the user interface to what they claim is an Expressive Material 3 redesign. Here's the gist, in case your screen's pixel-thin slice of sanity hasn't yet jumped ship: the buttons, they're ENORMOUS, like Google's ego, but less useful.
Now, imagine you're joining a meeting, and instead of the sleek, sensible interface you're used to, you're greeted by what looks like a toddler's version of an app - buttons the size of continents that you could press with a baseball bat from a mile away. "Here's to all who struggle with motor skills or are perhaps using the app during an earthquake," they must've thought at the brainstorming session.
And let's not talk about the color palette, which screams like a '90s website with all the subtlety of a neon sign in a blackout. Google, in their infinite wisdom, probably thought, "Why design for the visually impaired when we can just make everything bigger and brighter?" It's like walking into a rave where the only music is the sound of oversized buttons being clicked in an endless loop. Next up: Clown pants for your avatar?
