Hands on with macOS Tahoe 26: Liquid Glass, new theme options, and Spotlight
Briefly

Apple's WWDC introduced the new Liquid Glass design for macOS Tahoe, focusing on aesthetics and functionality. The beta experience on the M4 MacBook Air reveals a mixture of positive and negative responses to the changes, including the frosted Dock and widget designs. The transparency features are designed to be subtle, but opinions vary, with some finding them unattractive. The update also alters the Menu Bar to become invisible, prompting adjustments for users but offering options to revert to traditional designs for accessibility.
The Dock now has a frosted background that's more translucent than Sequoia's flatter design. The hazy, frozen glass aesthetic also extends to widgets.
At WWDC, Apple announced its new Liquid Glass design language, which is coming to all of its devices, including Macs.
The new Spotlight search features are nifty and useful, though the aesthetic changes range from slick to slightly overwrought.
Frankly, they're ugly, and I find their new elongated horizontal look strange and out of place.
