Icons for 2020 updates

I just updated Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator to the 2020 versions. Is it driving anyone else crazy that Photoshop has a new rounded-corner icon in the dock and the others still have the old square icons? Come on Adobe, we're designers here! You're stabbing me in the heart every time I look at my dock! 😉

It's driving EVERYONE crazy! 😄  But, the real reaso is that now, all the apps that have a mobile version are being depicted with rounded corners. you'll see the same effect on Lightroom for now, too!

Hi guys. We need create same icons by ourselfs while Adobe will update it. So I do that.

Its not driving me crazy and I think you guys are hilarious! Yes they overloaded the icon to designate apps with a mobile version which seems silly (as in, why bother) but also, who cares.

Hi All,

As many of you, this was stressing me out unnecessarily, so I created a quick rounded corner version to soothe my eyes.

All you have to do is open this in preview, select all, copy it, then go to "Get Info" on the AI app, click the thumbnail and paste this new one in.

Took me like 30 mins, it's frustrating that Adobe can't do little things like this. I'm open to critique as I'm relatively new to Illustrator.

Change for change sake is a pervasive disease.  It's not just "modernisation", some of it ignores (a) who uses the 'tool' and (b) how they use it. An example we might all have come across ... in order to accommodate advertising, ATM screens were converted from monochrome to colour.  That made them harder to use for users with certain vision impairments; but in particular, they are harder to see in certiain lighting conditions, such as direct sunlight, owing to the reduction in contrast.  As least Microsoft facilitated the 'old' presentation of the Windows UI when they effected a radical change.

 

As I have posted separately, possibly the most outrageous change Adobe has made with the new ACR is altering the positions (actual and relative) of the [Open] and [Cancel] buttons.  Muscle memory has me clicking [Done] or [Cancel] when I want to Open the image(s). Grrr!

Ah, that makes sense but they need to makes them consistent for the sake of our sanity!

It drives me completely mad. Cant understand how company like Adobe can let something like this happpen. It makes me just a step closer to switch to Affinity.
