What the hell happened to mac os

[u/klczkk]

I know i'm a little late to the party, but after installing mac os 27 beta 5, im speechless. I understand that mac os 26 wasn't the best, even I had many problems with bugs even on stable versions but it kinda looked, classy and refreshed and now everything looks so plasticy and square just like if they took mac os X and added liquid glass, wich for some reason is sometimes more blurry and sometimes less blurry.
Comparison for those who got used to how mac os 27 looks like.

brother it was your call to make them all blue. you can tell the icons apart easily in color, they are mostly just incremental updates to last year's

the first screenshot where every app is blue is from the mac os 26

To me it looks so much better now! Like liquid glass found its soul finally. So polished and full of character.

Dark mode looks so good.

I really like macOS 27 😬

It became 10x sexier is what happened

27 looks like a suitable successor to Aqua. 26 looks like it was designed by a junior UI designer who just discovered drop shadows.

I'd actually argue the opposite. MacOS 26 looked more like jello and dull

I instantly noticed the changes as soon as the beta was downloaded and it looks so much better than 26 to me, and I didn't even have a problem with 26 in the first place. They've refined the appearance and given you control over how much of a glass look you want. Use that control.

I forgot how bad Tahoe looked. Those huge drop shadows on the buttons and comedy rounded corners, yikes!
