pasitheaPraeflaips (n): slang Tasteless Icons. Specifically in reference to the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Propduction Premium box set.
So... I bought new software to upgrade my system. I hadn't bought a new set of adobe software in nearly a decade. Half my apps still ran in OS-9 mode. o_O In some ways, I'm surprised by how little they've changed. My OS-9 apps were of course slow on my dual 1Ghz tower and wouldn't run on my intel mac at all. My other apps were running in rosetta on my Intel Mac and I'm disappointed I didn't see a big performance increase by getting the now universal-binary versions. *sigh*
It's nice to have Premiere and After Effects back. I've missed them.. But these icons. These ugly fucking icons. My doc now has a series of blocks that reads PrAeFlAiPs across it. Ugh. They clash with every other app on my system (except marginally the current Maya Icon and that's only because Autodesk bought it and they've never had taste either)
Blah.
Regrettably, I haven't really got to test out the new software yet because I'm doing a big video rendering process and it's taking forever and a day. *sigh* Ohwell. Anyhow... PRAEFLAIPS is your word for the day. Use it where-ever you see ugly icons.
