Should be enum.
And don't capitalize your variables.

You're not wrong, as it's your personal subjective experience, which can't be wrong.
But the fact that it pisses you off implies that you don't understand the reason behind it.
We used to have information-dense UIs before because:

  • devices used to have only large screens with lower resolution.
  • devices were used primarily be specialists for productivity.

Which means programs had to fit a lot of stuff in very few pixels. Nowadays, vast majority of users are casual, the people of the land, fatfingering their tiny displays. They don't need a ton of buttons and sliders. In fact, a common user would get overwhelmed by all that, even on the desktop. And while a small amount of people would benefit from a denser UI for the same casual apps, it's usually not with the effort designing and implementing them.

Btw, that Nathan Fillion gif is from Castle and not Firefly.

I accidentally responded to your other comment in a different thread.

Depends on what you use to emulate and how much you want to hurt the device.
I usually emulate using RetroArch and it got all the CRT shaders you might want. Unless you get really into it. Look for CRT shaders with words "hylian glow", geom and royale. There even exist some advanced shaders for high refresh rate monitors that try to emulate CRT beam.

You can also check out Retro Crisis on YouTube to get started.

That's not just scaliness but a full-on CRT shader with phosphor glow and stuff 👌

Not to brag, but I have comments with, like, 11+ upvotes.

Oh right, didn't pay enough attention. But it was the first thing I saw in the morning.
