@craiggrannell @cdfinder I'm not installing this travesty. I may have to remain on the current OS for years.

@craiggrannell Possibly controversial, but I don't hate the lack of shadow on the menu bar.

Now, the extremely rounded windows and iPad-like floating buttons seem to have been lifted from Gnome. https://www.gnome.org

They're definitely an acquired taste.

@craiggrannell When the menu bar has no background, it casts a gradient shadow onto everything on the desktop within about an inch of the menu bar. I hate it.

@craiggrannell yeah I think I agree. The visual hierarchy of considering the title “content” and the buttons “controls” doesn’t align with how they arranged them. The metaphors are fighting. At the very least putting the title to the left of forward/back would keep it consistent.

@craiggrannell

Well, the reason for that is simple:

That design by #Apple is just shit. Garbage.

No sane user interface designer would dream of something as ugly and hard to use as this.

And the obscene giant rounded rects for the windows, removing so much screen estate. And for what? What wet dreams did Alan Dye have for this?

#macOS 26 is the first #Apple OS with a negative usability.

It is just utter bullshit. 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮

And what is more, Apple had already tried the idiotic "no background menu bar" a couple of years ago, and the users hated it, so they quickly got rid of it.

A company that is unable and willing to learn is doomed.
And arrogant.

@craiggrannell No background on the menu?! That sounds like a recipe for having illegible contrast when people use photos of their loved ones as desktop wallpaper.
