I haven't been following the new #CSS gap decorations updates closely, so this post has been a great intro https://css-tricks.com/the-gap-strikes-back-now-stylable/

Though, I must admit, I'm bummed that drawing lines seems to be all we can do with this right now. I thought we'd be able to use images for gap decorations.

The Gap Strikes Back: Now Stylable | CSS-Tricks

Styling the space between layout items — the gap — has typically required some clever workarounds. But a new CSS feature changes all that with just a few simple CSS properties that make it easy, yet also flexible, to display styled separators between your layout items.

Was uns 2026 endlich mal gelingen sollte ist gute Vorfeld-Kommunikation. Das war jetzt die dritte BiblioCon in Folge, auf der wir erst vor Ort die SM-Folien angepasst haben und das eigentliche Social Media Team noch nie was von Fediverse/openbiblio.social gehört hatte…

@crossgolf_rebel ...aber nur 1% der Accounts. In der politischen Diskussion geht es nicht darum Recht zu haben, sonder die Leute abzuholen in den Begrifflichkeiten, die sie schon ansatzweise verstehen.
Ich war vorletzte Woche auf einem Social Media Panel, wo wirklich 90% der Anwesenden mit dem Begriff/Konzept Fediverse überhaupt gar nichts anfangen konnten.
Das können wir anprangern und immer wieder aufklären, aber so ist der Stand nach X (sic) Jahren.

To be more fair to Tahoe, here's a version where I re-aligned the controls to accommodate the new metrics. I've also included Yosemite in this one. (I'd add more, but there's apparently a four-picture limit.)

John Siracusa 6d ago

A few more older ones, plus Tahoe beta 2 dark mode.

John Siracusa 5d ago

Here are some great “reimagined” Retina-resolution images of some older versions of Mac OS X created by @kylehalevi

@siracusa it was just the time of my first Mac but I’ll always love snow leopard.

Solra Bizna 5d ago

@vmachiel @siracusa I used Macs for 20 years before Snow Leopard and it's still my favorite version of MacOS. Snow Leopard was peak OS.

Niek van de Pas 4d ago

@vmachiel I’ve only been using Macs since 2019, but I would pay so much money for an OS redesign with that much visual clarity.

You’re not biased, Apple has just forgotten where its priorities should lie.

@niekvdpas yeah, it’s pretty to look at these days. But we don’t look at our devices: we use them.

Trent Shell 5d ago

@siracusa If you had to choose one of these styles to go back to (with Retina-quality, of course), what would you choose? I think Lion might actually be my favorite in some ways.

Benjamin Schmidt 5d ago

@trentshell @siracusa I know my favorite would be Snow Leopard. It's the most refined version with the pill buttons and feels the most Aqua.

John Siracusa 5d ago

@trentshell They all had their own issues, but I think Tiger would be a fun balance of nostalgia and usability.

Thomas Brand 5d ago

@siracusa @kylehalevi I would take pinstripes over Liquid Glass any day.

@siracusa @kylehalevi I will take any of them over Liquid Gl**ass**

Megamoose 5d ago

@siracusa In my opinion Lion was perhaps the best UI of all time. It took the visual distinctiveness & fun of original Aqua and made it clean & elegant yet still a joy to use.

Atelerix 5d ago

@siracusa @kylehalevi oh, that Tahoe dark mode is a delight, but the snow leopard is lovely too. Honestly, I’d take any of these!!

@siracusa @kylehalevi

@siracusa @kylehalevi I miss the tiger look.

Logan Highlen 5d ago

@siracusa was Mavericks considered Aqua? I remember I upgraded from my 2008 15” MBP to a late 2013 15” and Mavericks just felt really good and stable.

John Siracusa 5d ago

@LoganHighlen Apple's use of the term "Aqua" faded once the buttons stopped looking like clear candies, but you'd still hear it from time to time (and it appeared in Apple's code constants).

Oliver Busch 5d ago

@siracusa @kylehalevi
IMO, Lion was the perfect amount of Aqua. Subtle, elegant, functional.
Unfortunately, we will have to wait several versions until Liquid Glass will be finessed the same way.

Jordan Kennedy // Indie Maker 5d ago

@siracusa @kylehalevi Damn these look good

Make Nazis Dead Again 5d ago

@siracusa @kylehalevi Tiger through Lion were peak OS X design for me. I miss it. It just feels so comfortable and familiar, even when it was brand new.

Brandon Butler 5d ago

@siracusa @kylehalevi I can’t decide between Lion or Snow Leopard.

@siracusa @kylehalevi I think folks at Apple were already working on high DPI/"Retina" back in Tiger days - you could increase the user interface scale using Quartz Debugger: https://www.interact-sw.co.uk/iangblog/2005/05/20/tigerresolution

@siracusa @kylehalevi Ah crap, I had a feeling you probably covered this back in the day, but quick Google search on "mac os x tiger high dpi" pointed me towards that blog instead of your articles at Ars Technica. Sorry. 😅

Paul McGrane 4d ago

@siracusa @patryk @kylehalevi back especially with 10.5 Leopard, HiDDPi seemed perpetually and frustratingly just over the horizon.

It did only take … uh oh … another 5 years until first Retina MacBook Pro!

Jeffy 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 ❤️🇱🇺5d ago

@siracusa @kylehalevi definitely the Snow Leopard era of contrast and separation of concerns era for me.

Nick from Toronto 5d ago

@siracusa @kylehalevi Snow Leopard so good.

Norbert Heger 5d ago

@siracusa @kylehalevi What’s really great about these early Aqua designs (the buttons in particular) – they looked translucent without actually being translucent. So they looked cool and glassy but also had perfect legibility at the same time.

John Appleseed 5d ago

@siracusa I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed the rounded buttons of the earlier UI designs

Chancerubbage 5d ago

@siracusa @kylehalevi

Such subtle differences.

Val Packett 🧉5d ago

@siracusa @kylehalevi hehe just had to waste a half hour in Workbench just for the memes :) #GNOME

(oops, only after posting i've noticed that the tab switcher wasn't centered after i gave it margin, lmao)

FineFindus 4d ago

@valpackett @siracusa @kylehalevi You may want to use Adw.ViewSwitcher for the flat header bar ;)

Val Packett 🧉4d ago

@FineFindus none of this is supposed to be idiomatic Adwaita/HIG design, it's replicating the original in a silly way hehe

Proficiency 4d ago

@valpackett @siracusa @kylehalevi Is it just me or the color palette here are just a little bit different than what actually GNOME is using?

Also, damn it looks nice!

Val Packett 🧉4d ago

@proficiency the window itself? it is stock adwaita in 48.2, accent reset to blue for the screenshot.

the screenshot background gradient is whatever :)

Proficiency 4d ago

@valpackett I think the graphical high anti aliasing just plays a trick on me, kinda weird seeing how not-jagged the fonts and the edges are.

Yury Molodtsov 4d ago

@siracusa @kylehalevi I got iPhone 5S that came with iOS 7, then I got a MacBook Air that immediately updated and removed all skeuomorphism. Was a bit sad to miss this era with Apple.

Manu M 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈6d ago

@siracusa What happened to the indeterminate progress bar?

@manum @siracusa Doesn’t it go side to side like KITT in Knight Rider?

Philip Mallegol-Hansen 6d ago

@manum @siracusa Computing became perfectly deterministic, of course.

/s

John Siracusa 6d ago

@manum I think maybe it animates back and forth.

Riccardo Mori 6d ago

@siracusa My favourites are always the oldest ones. It’s true that the deeper blues in the newer versions add more contrast and what’s active stands out more, but the UI of the older Mac OS X versions didn’t need all that contrast to begin with. The active state of buttons and checkboxes was pretty much evident in context.

Thanks for posting these!

Gareth Simpson 6d ago

@siracusa Tahoe dark mode looks a lot better than Tahoe light mode which is kind of disappointing given that I hate dark mode.

Brett Walker 6d ago

@siracusa I think Snow Leopard’s UI with the legibility of Mavericks would be perfect.

Alphacheez 6d ago

@siracusa not having translucence on controls that were previously translucent when you're trying to promote your design as "liquid glass" seems like a pretty major miss with Tahoe. The buttons, progress bars, and stoplight controls are so flat and boring

Alphacheez 6d ago

@siracusa Also, they cannot be described as "lickable", the true hallmark of OS X design!

John Wilson 6d ago

@Alphacheez @siracusa Agreed. The traffic lights not being made of Liquid Glass is a huge miss for [1] UI legibility, [3] "looks cool" consistency, and [3] candid throwback/nostalgia.

Stories of Apple 6d ago

@siracusa Tahoe beta 2 dark mode looks like a discarded theme from a Kaleidoscope 13 years old enthusiast…

Jimmy Callin 6d ago

@siracusa is everything a lot more cramped now or is the scaling playing tricks on me?

John Siracusa 6d ago

@callin Some of those images are Retina and some are not, so that probably accounts for what you’re seeing.

@siracusa I *loved* the "lick-able" Aqua UI. Panther/Tiger was peak Aqua days.

@siracusa I really prefer how defined and readable everything is in the Lion/Mavericks versions. Aqua was so refined looking at that point.

@siracusa I forgot how much Lion refined Aqua.

leemorgan 6d ago

@siracusa what about Platinum? 😉

Ben Munson 5d ago

@siracusa it’s like they’re using one of those bags you put clothing in and vacuum all the air out, but for detail, whimsy, and usability.

MisterMoo 12h ago

@siracusa I miss the Snow Leopard era so much. I feel like that's right when they had Aqua fully optimized and began to move on.

Jack Wellborn 6d ago

@siracusa The enabled but not selected button looks disabled. I wonder how it compares to an actual disabled button.

Andrei Torres 6d ago

@siracusa thanks for the updated version. Now my mind can focus on hating Tahoe's lack of contrast and the vertical alignment of the date field

Götz Hoffart 6d ago

@siracusa Now in Tahoe the “Button” in the middle row is barely detectable as such, just tiny bit of contrast makes the button. Similar with the “Test | One | Two“. Someone should read the AHIG.

And I hope that “high contrast” “disability mode” fixes this.
