Yeah I actually liked the whole Vista/7 era Windows looks. Didn't like anything else about Vista but that wasn't Windows Aero's fault.

And most other consumers, I would wager.

It's not just blur though, it actually refracts what's behind the element, which sounds more performance intensive than it needs to be, and sometimes it's heavily distracting, but let's not kid ourselves that this is just windows vista on a Mac, they're emulating more of the physicalities of glass than just a static shine

What people really want is less control and cat videos. Perhaps a screen with two knobs on the side...one for the volume and the other to change the picture?

Those damn corners weren’t round enough yet, thanks Apple designers

after using it for a bit, i’d say in most cases i agree: bit of a nothing burger in a lot of cases (to the point where a few times i’ve thought it was bugged and reverted to the old UI style… it wasn’t), but it’s pretty great when it comes to apps where the UI is secondary (content etc)… the diffraction in the UI rather than a blur makes the whole UI able to be ignored much easier, and IMO it’s still about as legible in most real scenarios

I like the way it flwobs her face, but where there aren’t distinct background shapes, it’s like a glass of water on a plain background, just kind of a dull nothing.

The more I look at it, it’s making me feel a bit queasy actually

They’re going for X with L-aqua-d Glass, but look at 7, so brutalist chill

This was 4, my bad, both tho

I’ll have to have greyscale wallpaper.

We're all secretly longing for the macbook wheel that was leaked over 15 years ago:

I dunno, I prefer liquid glass to the flat shit we've been seeing for the past decade.

One of the greatest videos ever.
