Ok, so probably it’s time to unpin my super grumpy post on Liquid Glass from the #WWDC 2025.

I’ll be way less grumpy this new Apple season.

50% LESS GRUMPY! 📉

(At least on the design side. Will see what September will bring for implementation quality.)

BTW, that would make a great passport photo, Craig. :D
Will watch part 2 tomorrow.
Means we still can fight for the sanity in UI design, it’s not over.

Finished watching the fashion show part 1. Happy to see some positive signs in design, esp. concerning macOS.

The largest insult — the sidebar’s floating nonsense — was removed. This backtrack alone is worth a lot to me.

Plus toolbar background (“to improve structure” duh). Even more control over the glass material. Windows corner radius — still huge, but at least unified.

So there *is* still some listening to the feedback, and that’s most important — it is what I expected as optimistic case.

#WWDC prediction: No apologies will be issued (neither from design, nor development teams). There will be silly jokes, maybe even involving hair styling.

Hm. From the aggressiveness of these warnings I got an impression that Rosetta will be gone from macOS 27, but if you open the support page it states that it will happen only in macOS 28.

So that’s overall a positive thing to warn early, but why the heck do I need so many of these damn notifications? Will it stop now after I opened the support page?

I’m on Tahoe 26.5.1. Still need to occasionally restart to remove the MOUSE LAG! (No Logitech software installed.)

We can replace/rebuild apps. But when frameworks and OSes get sloppy, there is another level of problematic.

This young fella is a bit hard to recognize visually as George Carlin. Only when you hear the voice — oh yea, it’s really him.
