A little bit about the trends of site design
Tired eyes from switching between multi-colored pages in the browser, so as a rest, I decided to philosophize a little here.
Remember, as before, in the era of the lack of a single UI for the OS, applications looked like? Everyone drew the interface as best they could - each application has its own colors and fonts, its own unique controls. Even when the IDE already appeared to automate the creation of graphical windows, dialogs, menus, etc., launching the application anyway, one could immediately say what it was designed for - Delphi, Borland (remember those big OK and Cancel?). Gradually, however, standardization took over. Now the appearance of applications, their menus, dialog boxes, buttons and controls, is determined by the theme setting - common for all OS applications (well, there are still gtk and qt, but this is not the point).
In my opinion, something similar is happening with the Internet. At first all the sites were different. Everyone tried to stand out than he could. And one of the primary tasks of the developers at that time was to provide a SINGLE page display with different browsers in different OS.

However, the process of standardization is gradually going on - it is often possible even without delving into the content of the page that this is a forum, and this is a blog.
With the increase in the general accessibility of the Internet and the advent of services available via the web, users began to spend more time inside the browser - here both mail, documents, and now development, and drawing, etc. Therefore, it is quite natural that users desire to customize the appearance of this internal browser environment as much as possible. Therefore, services such as say google mail, now provide an opportunity to select themes for registration.
There are many topics, but among them there is still one missing thing - the topic chosen by the user as the OS topic.
I suggest that developers of websites and web interfaces for services think about providing a different page display depending on the user's operating system and its settings. So that all the buttons, controls and texts on the page look and be placed as in other stand-on applications(and all advertisements are collected in the “About” button ) .
Utopia? What do you think?
