Desktop application
Compared to the UI in Mac OSX, the UI of Linux applications is usually not very attractive, but there are still some UI elements that make the applications a bit better.
- Minimal border thickness: borders are useful to separate out areas of different functionality. Over the years, we can see a trend of decreasing border thickness to just a line. For example, the Arduino application on Linux has no border thickness between the tool bar and the tab pane. It has a border between the editor the status bar, which, in my opinion, could be reduced.
The Chrome app is another example with thin lines as borders.
