“Confusing, distracting, and aesthetically upsetting”
A thoughtful look at macOS 26’s application of Liquid Glass by Howard Oakley:
I’m sure that, in the right place and time, transparency effects of Liquid Glass can be visually pleasing. Not only is this the wrong time and place, but those with visual impairment can no longer remove or even reduce these effects, as the Reduce Transparency control in Accessibility settings no longer reduces transparency in any useful way.
I have heard so many bad things about Liquid Glass specifically on Tahoe that I’m holding on and not updating at this time. Something tells me I might have to skip a version or two altogether, which feels unprecedented in the modern Apple times.
