I swear I don't usually complain about UI styling updates, because it's usually not a big deal - but this looks really, really bad [1]. It's less functional with bizarre transparency choices destroying legibility, and big rounded corners taking up more dead space. And stylistically, the layouts just look unbalanced and amateurish (It reminds me of what happens when I attempt to do CSS layouts). Most Linux desktops un…

I do dislike how toy-like the user interface looks, but I really hate how illegible notifications are on iPadOS. I had to turn on the reduce transparency setting so I could read the notification text against my lock screen wallpaper.

Any actual interesting changes under the hood other than UI changes? I cant remember the last time macOS release that actually brings any useful feature I use.

Native container support is pretty exciting.

ICYMI: Apple's new native containers start in ~100ms and have better security. I updated to Tahoe just for this.

And it's open-source:

https://github.com/apple/container

It's not really supported before Tahoe, presumably due to required hypervisor support.

Wow. I know I’m not the first to say it, but it really does give me Windows Vista vibes. No bueno.

I've been running it since the RC and am currently in the process of uninstalling it. The new UI is so incredibly ugly I honestly cannot understand how they thought it was acceptable to even released as a beta let alone an RC and now release. There's SO much padding and wasted screen real estate, disjointed looking floating inner panels, window corners that are so rounded you see gaps in full screen apps, inconsisten…

I was on RC too, for a few days, and also uninstalled. I'm glad I did, the fresh Sequoia install feels much nicher. Even with reduce transparency on, the design was too ugly and the drab gray icon jails for non-squircle icons were downright offensive. First macOS version I'm gonna skip and I've been a day one updater since mountain lion, very sad.

The fact that so much of the page is devoted to this liquid glass feature pretty much tells you the answer is no. Plus the fact that the "And so much more" section lists 10 different updates in the same space as their poster with a link to a PDF instead of building out a larger webpage speaks volumes.

I absolutely hate it. I guess we’ll probably get used to it but until then… gah ugliest MacOS ever?

Hoping the next update is the iOS 8 to the iOS 7 redesign and then it'll be fine.

I, for one, am going to wait a much longer while before installing this.

The internets suggests the following disables glass effects:

Whoa, you can now search clipboard history. Go to Spotlight Search, Command+4. You'll get a list of entries, each with a copy button, and is searchable. Even shows the app it was copied in.

At last Apple implemented a decent clipboard history. KDE has this thing for a decade now, I guess...

KDE also can encode entries as QR codes, so you can make URLs transferable to your phone or whatnot.

Does that mean that add-on clipboard managers like Maccy are obsolete now?
