How did you discovered frutiger aero?

[u/Nyrvhana]

Personally, i'm 22 years old. I remember old phones, old windows, the whole aesthetic spoke to me after i randomly discovered it by searching it curiously. I'm a very nostalgic person and it just.. spoke to my heart.

The music. The vibe.

I have multiple aesthetics because i can’t choose, i just love things and take them. But seeing the rooms, arts of it just make me feels like childhood. I would totally love to live somewhere like that. And i have very poor memory, but discovering it just made me think : I know that. Even the musics screams nostalgia to me.

I often miss my childhood and past years and it kinda makes me come back to it.

What do you love in frutiger aero?

I'm 34 years old today and I lived through the Frutiger Aero era without knowing the name of this aesthetic until a couple years ago

I used Windows Vista, and 7, and only noticed it started disappearing when the early beta builds of Windows 8 started being released. Yep, there is a Windows 8 early build that still had the Win7 theme, and has the full screen start menu

Also used macOS when it was still known as Mac OSX, used 10.4, 10.5, and until 10.7, didn't really use 10.8 because my mac mini at the time can't handle it

I have seen people defending flat design and hating on Apple's latest clear transperant theme. But honestly, that theme is pretty much a return to Frutiger Aero, with the clear, transparent design
