#64I may have missed one by looking at this huge dump, but NONE of the "buttons" I saw there actually looked/felt like a button. Something I can feel that I press it down and it gives proper visual feedback, like a little 3D effect. I'm old-school. :)

#65Earlier quoted context omitted.
For me the 2001 OSX looks wishy washy and does not have a professional look.
Conversely, I want those old candy Aqua buttons back. They were kitschy, but I loved them. I'd say the same for the scrollbars, but these days I'd settle for reverting to them being visible at all times.
I believe in the KDE / Magic User Interface way, users should decide what they want a button or a checkbox etc. to look like, and then everything should conform to that.
And if you really wanted to, maybe made some concessions, and were clever about it, you could maybe find a way so that users define shapes and functionality and a default light/dark color scheme, but applications could still use the "user style" with their own color scheme, and allow the user to switch between that and the user defined colors.
It would also have the side effect of ejecting the people who just change things to make their mark. There is no more mark to make! Except making the "style configurator" for the user better, collaborating on expanding the protocol shared between it and websites/applications. You can invent a new type of button, put it on the pile, and hope it becomes one of the higher rated ones that gets downloaded and used a lot, on any OS, in any application or website. That will be a lot less interesting for hack frauds, and software interfaces can finally become awesome and then just better from there.

It sounds like you're talking about the "gloss" era with "juicy" buttons, which some people are retroactively referring to as Frutiger Aero. Yes, things definitely look more 3D in that design. It's currently considered out of mainstream fashion, which explains the lack. Will it resurge?
Also more generally called skeuomorphism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeuomorph

Re: Stolen Buttons
#69I wish there was a way to exclude the plain ones (single color rectangle with rounded corners and text).
It would be cool to classify and categorize them so you could filter by attributes
Re: Stolen Buttons
#70What a lovely idea.
I hope there will be some kind of online museum of web design trends before the web turns into something else, and maybe paradigms such as "buttons" will stop being as interesting any more.
I guess I should

Maybe something like tvtropes.com, but for web application design, and of course with visual examples.
