The problem, to my eye, is lack of contrast. It’s something I’ve started to notice more and more in modern designs — grey dividing lines/objects that are too close to the light background, failing to stand out.
My hypothesis is that the designers and developers are all using $3k MacBooks with the ultra high quality screens that can reproduce colors that humankind could never have imagined, while I’m using a ten year old piece of crap LCD monitor that seems to be staying alive simply to spite me.
Either that, or I’m getting old and my vision is starting to slowly fade.
