Anything is better than Liquid Glass
The UI regressed to Windows Aero from Vista. Took 20 years, but they made it full circle.
Unironically tho, I would so use a Windows Areo inspired UI (like Exposed Air on KDE Plasma) on mobile android.
Strongly disagree.
I know it became a meme, but I love Liquid Glass. It’s never been an issue for me to read (in practice, anyway, as there were some examples in the announcement video that were hard to read but I assume those were from earlier builds).
The refraction is beautiful, the contrast is sufficient, it delivers on the promise Windows Aero made but could never achieve.
Plus I welcome with open arms a return to skeuomorphism. Controls appearing to have depth is so much nicer than the flat look everyone used for so long. I also love the jiggling that menus do when you touch them. 😁
Finally someone else who agrees with me on this. I love Liquid Glass and I thought I was the only one. Nice to see someone else feels the same way.
Skueomorphism is great but Liquid Glass feels like someone told Apple "UI should be invisible" and they took it literally instead of metaphorically
I don't care for a UI that insists upon itself
