Reminder that Design should be not just about how it looks but also how it works...

I was hoping since we can move Widgets onto the desktop that perhaps we'd get more spacing for Notifications but nope... 😒

You're a good designer if you can make something work well and is intuitive -- not merely just (in your opinion, making it look good).

Also this is the weirdest background fade I've ever seen... why? Why it like this?

No because look at how useful it used to be! Everything was clear, legible, none of this "on hover" bs... and look how many notifications you can have in the list view... wow!

Why does macOS continue to just regress?

@marioguzman AH yes thank you https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/11/growl-once-a-staple-of-the-mac-desktop-experience-has-been-retired/
Growl, once a staple of the Mac desktop experience, has been retired

Apple’s Notification Center had already long ago replaced Growl in most cases.

@dk @marioguzman growl was so good and so much better than native notifications. I absolutely loved the notification log to catch people’s skype-messages-in-the-wrong-chat-they-deleted.
