        I thought it couldn’t get better when System 7 had color support. It was such a revolution. Then Aqua came along and everything changed. Liquid Glass looks pretty nice to me but I’m mostly just glad we’re getting dimension back. Material flat UI is a stain on the world.

          I think there was some sort of color support prior to System 7.

          kagis

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_II

          System 6 includes QuickerGraf (originally QuickerDraw), system software used to accelerate the drawing of color images on the Macintosh II.

          Hmm. Apparently System 4 had color support, which is earlier than I expected.

          https://www.reddit.com/r/VintageApple/comments/1bsttma/why_did_apple_wait_so_long_to_implement_color/

          …it wasn’t until two years later in 1987 that Apple introduced color with the release of the System 4 & the Macintosh II.

          Here’s a photo of a IIcx with a color display:

            They’re going for X with L-aqua-d Glass, but look at 7, so brutalist chill

          I share the same feeling. The flat lifeless interfaces need to go.
