And I like that Menu Icons now are hidden by default again on #macOS - Quite a lot of concessions towards liquid glass being the wrong move last year. Takes courage to take so many steps back, literally. I'm appreciating that. Even if they present it as improvements rather than "undo" - that's just what one has to do for marketing. #WWDC2026
