As someone who&amp;#x27;s suffered some similar substance issues. Thank you for being a great example of just how amazing of a place the mind can be when its trained onto something that gives us meaning and direction. I am in sheer awe of what you&amp;#x27;ve created. Its incredibly powerful but yet so simple its staggering. I am so following the progress of SerenityOS (i get the name too, btw) and look forward to seeing great things come of it and from you.</text><parent_chain><item><author>akling</author><text>&amp;gt;I&amp;#x27;d love to see some innovation with the old school design ethos too; maybe there are even better ways of displaying controls?

But then it didn’t really catch on like.&lt;p&gt;But I think SerenityOS with a Neumorphism style would be a really interesting experiment.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;uxdesign.cc&amp;#x2F;neumorphism-in-user-interfaces-b47cef3bf3a6&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;uxdesign.cc&amp;#x2F;neumorphism-in-user-interfaces-b47cef3bf...&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain><item><author>akling</author><text>&amp;gt;I&amp;#x27;d love to see some innovation with the old school design ethos too; maybe there are even better ways of displaying controls?
