Garrett MurrayAlan Dye told us this was the future of all platforms, critical, amazing, and beautiful. And here we are, at 26.1, allowing users to just totally opt-out. They didn't even make it ONE CALENDAR QUARTER before starting to roll it back. Why would anyone invest in Liquid Glass now?

Oliver ReichensteinThe team was working super hard for this release. For weeks (marketing), months (template typography), years (dev and testing). Tired and happy after the launch asif it were some kind of test or competition or birth:

Why menu icons are a terrible idea on macOS?
Here’s a photo showing them side by side on an iPhone and on a MacBook Pro screen.
On iOS, menu icons can work quite well to communicate the meaning of menu items. They’re reasonably sized, displayed on screens with very high pixel density (around 460 ppi), and typically viewed from a fairly close distance.
But this doesn’t translate to macOS at all. On macOS 26 Tahoe, the icons are ridiculously small (about one-quarter of the physical area), displayed on screens with much lower pixel density (e.g. 254 ppi on the latest MacBook Pro), and usually viewed from about twice as far away.
Effectively—taking both size and pixel density into account—the macOS icons have less than 3% of the available pixels compared to their iOS counterparts.
So it’s no wonder that these tiny icons look blurry and are hardly recognizable on macOS.
(the second picture compares their visual sizes side by side, the third one their actual pixel sizes)
