Amen to that.
 
I am sick of 'modern' web site  fill-in boxes in the lightest of gray
on a white background placed in arbitrary locations - probably off
screen at any level of zoom that allows you to read the text.

You can blame Jony Ive for that.  He pushed the flat, colorless, light
grey on bright white design for the iphones, and of course most
'designers' are also Apple Fanboi's at the same time, so they "must
copy apple" in the look they create everywhere else.

Some have gone so far that the "boxes" have no color or borders at all,
and the only way to discover there is in fact a form field on screen at
that spot is to click the area with the mouse and see if the keyboard
insertion cursor appears in the whitespace.

it is getting really annoying how many times people copy Apple to look
"modern". At the very least, we might get a semi-revival of Aero Glass
now.
