Apple: adds blur effects, rounded elements, and color themeing
Homo Sapians: "Wow, another groundbreaking idea from Apple!"
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?

Apple introduces a delightful and elegant new software design
Apple previewed a new software design, crafted with Liquid Glass, that makes apps and system experiences more expressive and delightful.

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

Sure, I just don’t think it’s really that much different than what we have now. I guess I’m just indifferent to it and don’t think it’s that big of a change.
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

Y'all don't see this?
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

I think there was some sort of color support prior to System 7.

System 6 includes QuickerGraf (originally QuickerDraw), system software used to accelerate the drawing of color images on the Macintosh II.
Hmm. Apparently System 4 had color support, which is earlier than I expected.
...it wasn't until two years later in 1987 that Apple introduced color with the release of the System 4 & the Macintosh II.
Here's a photo of a IIcx with a color display:
They’re going for X with L-aqua-d Glass, but look at 7, so brutalist chill

Aqua, an OS X theme from before you were born
It’s SO cool!

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.
