    This reminds me of a Photoshop glass tutorial from 2001

    It’s annoying a bit, I’ll concede, but what I really miss are the squircle icons. That was way superior ergonomically wise. That had spend so much time perfecting it, only to throw it away like an used rag.

    Liquid Glass is salvageable if only Apple takes another look at it and improves the bad aspects of it, not that I’ll be around to see it (just switching back to Android). I don’t find it too terrible, with contrast a bit higher. I love the softer, less sharp corners, floating action bars in most apps…The way certain action touchpoints are distributed throughout their core apps.

      As someone who’s sight is going as I get older, Liquid Glass, (even with Contrast Up, Transparency reduced and larger text) is Terrible.

      I remember when people complained about iOS 7 being illegible and I sympathised. Now I empathise with them.

        Yeah, that’s why I am happy they allow users to revert those type of changes, with a sight friendly theme. I was really just speaking about my own experience with this comment; my vision is in a weird place. Contrast personally helps me to notice the details in Liquid Glass better. I can understand that it will be fundamentally worse for others (as vision drastically varies between all people) to fix this; Apple does need to take feedback from people and construct granular controls that help people with varying levels of visual impairment (they probably won’t unless they are hounded, as they believe they’re right almost all the time).

      OG early dev beta Liquid Glass was so much better IMO. But they got obsessed with fixing the contrast issues that it looks awful.

      And honestly most of the time the contrast issues weren’t that bad. Static screenshots make it look so much worse.

    I like it, I mean I wish apple would actually innovate instead of doing this and riding the mr bones’ ai hype train, but I don’t hate it.

    I have been using a theme called “Glass” on my linux boxes for 12 years and that looks better than crApple.

    This design won’t help much if you try to hide the porn you were watching when someone caughts you.

    It is so jarring… it feels like lots of these things should be official themes that can be turned on, off or swapped out. I personally don’t like this one and wish I could go back to the previous
