On the plus side of the design language, look at this and tell me we’re not almost back to iOS 6 levels of chrome. Nature is healing…
Tell me that's not Aqua
The Add Homescreen Widget panel on iPad looks like it’s straight out of iOS 6, with the opaque panels, blue tints, and generous drop shadows
macOS Golden Gate doesn't look 'refined', it looks retro. It's honestly shocking at first launch. It's like we've slowly moving into a timeline where iOS 7 never happened
Seeing nav bars return is wild; they painted themselves into such a corner last year that they had to hit the "break [Liquid] Glass in case of emergency" lever
The Liquid Glass version of Pages on macOS 27 almost looks like it could be running on Mac OS X Tiger. Can't wait to see what this OS looks like after apps refresh their designs to fit in
The glassy toolbar shapes are so nice now on macOS 27 that you kinda want to fill your toolbars with buttons rather than hide away the UI like we have been for too many years
@stroughtonsmith …but it's not perfect. The little squares (grid view) aren't correctly center-aligned inside the circle. 🤷🏼‍♂️
@stroughtonsmith It's weird how they look so good this year on macOS but the iOS buttons (in light mode) are nowhere near as good. They lack any kind of depth. It's like they consist only of a gray stroke around them.
@stroughtonsmith More buttons, shorter menus!
@stroughtonsmith It really feels like modern Aqua, it was my first thought after updating
@stroughtonsmith
I would prefer clearly visible, high-contrast buttons on an opaque background. Can that useless visual clutter at least be turned off?
@stroughtonsmith whoa whoa whoa. That’s a lot of buttons. Those should all be within a “…” dropdown menu buddy
