More assorted notes on Liquid Glass
Briefly

Apple's Liquid Glass redesign is creating confusion among developers about the navigation interface. Key elements like tab bars float in a translucent layer intended to help users focus on content. However, by making these elements semi-transparent, they may obscure rather than clarify the interface. This design choice contrasts sharply with Apple's guidance to ensure that content and navigation elements are clearly separated to create a distinct functional layer. Such contradictions raise questions about the effectiveness of this new design principle.
Key navigation elements like tab bars and sidebars float in this Liquid Glass layer to help people focus on the underlying content. However, this design choice can lead to contradictions in user experience, as translucent elements can obscure rather than clarify, making it challenging to separate navigation from content effectively.
Developers are advised to ensure a clear navigation hierarchy by distinctly separating content from navigation elements, but this contradicts the earlier design principle that blurs those lines, creating confusion in user interface design.
