Liquid Glass is a catastrophe.

@simonbs My "highlight" is still the Contacts app.
The majority of the contact info area is a massive image.
Sidebar text is arbitrarily truncated.
Sidebar is not resizable (yet the respective control is shown).
Stil unfixed problems with importing a contacts backup.
Un. Effing. Usable.
@simonbs even without the fade, I wonder if that pale green text on a white background would pass WCAG
@simonbs @gruber sometimes timelines work beautifully.

@simonbs @gruber the thing about modern Apple UI is they go for some deeply flawed vision that seems developed in a vacuum away from third parties, accessibility experts and engineers, and then when that fails they water it all the way down until people say “huh okay this isn’t that bad any more”

it just lurches from catastrophe to milquetoast and back again, with most of the time firmly in milquetoast territory

what i’d love, love to see is them - or anyone - come up with is a system vision that bakes in accessibility and pro / studio app design first. There’s a million design systems and frameworks that make a great recipe app, but get them to make an outliner or a DAW and it all goes pear shaped. Design system on the pro apps first, high density, pluggable, powerful, legible. *Then* do the simple stuff.
