Are you guys tired of the "Material You" design? I don't really like the huge paddings on everything aspect of it. Also a lot of it feels too flat. What do you guys think?

yeah, i hated material ew as soon as it was announced. so much padding everywhere, and so little contrast - to paraphrase the incredibles: if everything's orange, nothing is. i want actionable items to stand out, not be a slightly lighter shade of the same colour

i must say, if an app (for example, jerboa) uses material 3, i usually try to look for an alternative

edit: some examples:

with material design, it's clear what's a header, what's a footer,^[1]^ and what each button's state is.

with material ew, it's much harder to tell at a glance what each app is, one has to scrutinise the icon rather than just tell at a glance by colour

[1] look at the lack of contrast on that "new post" button

The colors I do like personally, it's the huge buttons that make me feel like it was made for the elderly lol.

Its nice to see everyone has their own take. :)

i wouldn't even mind the colours if they didn't tint the background. tinting solely the main text colour and the main buttons might look quite nice. to be honest though, i just loathe pastel colours in general, so it's possible that's influencing my opinion
