Macworld

Last year’s batch of “26” OS updates was dominated by the launch of Liquid Glass, Apple’s transparency-themed cross-platform design language. Liquid Glass, sadly, was not universally embraced, with some users finding it confusing or even illegible. And the company eventually had to offer a way to turn off some of its most extreme visual effects.
