Wait, is Microsoft's current "fluid" design language considered neo skeumorphism? (Also thanks for sharing the term neomorphism with me! I hadn't heard it shortened like that!) I haven't really followed Microsoft's ui design at all, I wasn't aware it fell into that category
Fluid is neumorphism and glassmorphism having a baby. Elements have depth and transparency but there's still some abstraction from skeumorphism because we've gotten used to computers a bit more but we want textures again.
Huh, I guess I'll have to go take a look at fluid again, I hadn't really followed it at all since it was first being talked about as their new design language. Thanks for filling me in!
