frutiger aero os releases officially tomorrow
>>106583905It has zero resemblance to aero. Unless you are an NPC with no subjective experience. All you know is transparent = aero, you can't actually see that the design is totally different, all you can experience is highly abstracted key words that your image processing front end feeds into your primitive language model.
>>106584224ok chud.. its not that serious.
>>106584224poster with a big ego and little to say
>>106583905Test
>>106584244>I'm extremely poor and brown
>>106583905>>106584224I'm actually really liking how the iOS and tvOS takes on it are looking. this is what will finally get me upgrading from my 2018 MBP
>>106583905I can wait. Probably for Christmas. Hope it’s OK-ish by then, bug-wise.
>>106584224it's like when retards were calling anything with palm trees and marble statues vaporwave
>>106583905>tahoewhy does apple keep naming their products after garbage places in cali?
>>106583905Good, nobody cares.Kikle is just making money on you while they sell you shit that could be free. Hell even EU commies got scared and had to force you to stop paying for those overpriced chargers.
>>106588598They ran out of cat names
>dahoe
>>106583905I couldn't care less, iPadOS 26 is where it's at.
this OS will support Intel CPUs or no?
>>106586995you must seethe extra hours nowadays with all the Apple winning releases
>>106588598better than your flyover shithole
Reminds me of IJN Taiho.
>>106583905macos tahoe? i barely know her!
h... huhh.... HUUUH..>TAHOE!!!!?
>>106590178A small handful just so they can say this is the last update for intel machines.
Can't wait to upgrade my sovlful m4 macbook air to this new sovlful unix experience vgh absolute peak
>>106583905>liquid assI literally sold my macbook earlier this year because of this shit
>>106590471they literally shit on streets in cali bro
12 minutes boys lock in
>we're finally getting rid of launchpad, expanding spotlight, adding proper dark mode, and adding menu bar/control panel customisation you could ever dream of>btw here's liquid assThis is tough. At least you can disable dock icon changes and bring back menu bar background, but there was literally nothing wrong with the current look. I'm going to miss the big cat era volume/brightness toggles.
oh shit guys only 8 minutes for me to finally updoot to macOs 26, I am so excited
>>106595349>>106595385I AM LOCKED IN AAAAAAAAHHHH
fyi you've been able to get the stable release of tahoe for days now by selecting the tahoe developer beta in update settings.
>>106595440doesn't count shut up
I'm go nna UPGROOODE
>>106595440Thanks for your participation in the qa saar
UPDOOOTING NOOOW
>>106595494>launch time has passed>update still not showing up in settingswow great work apple!!!
>>106583905is anyone actually hype for liquid ass?
>>106595519yeah, for me neither l0l
>your Mac is up to dateWtf is this shit Tim Apple
>>106583905waiting for the ipad update to drop
>>106595523No, but see>>106595384They're adding a lot of crowd pleasing qol stuff to make liquid ass go down smoother, knowing full well it would go down like cold sick otherwise.
>>106595535it just started now for me
but the macOS 26 ISO is still not in the app store or on their website
what the frickin' heck
>>106595609scroll down
>>106595523I think it looks like shit but normies love muh colors and I want to upgrade asap so I can figure out how to make the ugly parts less bad
>>106595614nigga i can't scroll down
>>106595622
>>106595609yeah mine is the same, 26 doesn't show up by it does on my phone. servers are getting bodied
>>106595384>we're finally getting rid of launchpadThis actually surprises me the more I think about it. You'd think Tim Apple would love to spray his liquid ass all over OSX's most hated feature given how awful it would look.
>>106595609>>106595622I got same thing. 26 is out for iOS but no mac
>>106595649it's up on my macbook
Imagine all the twinks I'm gonna pick up at starbucks with this!
>>106595635>we'rewtf? you faggots are insufferably retarded
>>106583905
The iOS update is raping my poor old 12 pro max, shits been "preparing update" for 15 minutes now
>>106595689Saar, please don't skip your english lessons.
>>106595696absolute 10/10 screenshot. I kneel.
Liquid Glass = pajeet bloatware>Liquid Assfaggot are going to be drawn to this trash, naturally.
Welcome to Sequoia 15.7 I guess.
Small indie computer company needs to stagger rollouts please understand
Where da hoes at?
Holy shit my home screen is so damn ugly now lol >there is a border on every single iconWhat the fuck were they thinking Fuck zoomer y2k fake nostalgia this shit looks like ass
>>106595904screenshot dat hoe
>>106595914It's hideous lmao
>>106596015I don't use icons on my screen so for me nothing changed that much
>>106596044Your's looks pretty clean. I'm going to have to redo mine. Any icons are going to look a mess with the glass border they added.
>>106596062yeah I have set it up that the icons don't appear on my screen when Install something new.I think the transparent ones look okay, depends on the wallpaper
I just installed iOS 26my iPhone looks good for the first time since iOS6
Damn it looks like shit. Implementation feels half passed because you get weird spots like app switcher where it doesn't even show up. Feels like a custom cyanogen ROM from 2009. So much sovl. Who needs design consistency.
anybody else want their laptop battery cut down by 45 minutes?
>>106583905Blop blop blop blop
How do I get rid of all my windows having a 1px white borders everywhere in dark mode? Its visually noisy and driving me crazy. Light mode doesn't have a border only dark mode.
i am updooting to 15.7 so you can beta test for me
i updooted to tahoeholy shit it looks awfulill complain about this internally for years
>>106596429constrast. increase the contrast
>>106596435I regret updating. Its so bad I may switch to linux I can't work like this.
>>106596435>>106596456haha you got ta hoed
>>106596451That makes it worse????Who the fuck signed off on thsi shit
>>106596435>>106596456>ill complain about this internallyMake a thread on how awful it looks. Compare it with older screenshots so people know why.
>>106596429turn off "Show accent color on title bars and window borders"
30 minutes for 600MB, what the fuck are they doing with these download speed? At this point it's gonna take me until tomorrow to just download the update.
>>106596545holy shit apple invented gnome
>>106596580That doesn't exist unfortunately. I need to figure out how to downgrade to sonoma.
>100kb/s download speedTim Apple, fix your servers
>>106596545>every window has a different corner radiuslol lmao even.
Early thoughts, holy shit these sidebars are ugly in dark mode.I can't tell if the new lockscreen clock is so bad it's good or just bad.All transparency can be turned off. Completely. And it makes everything look so much better. The solid grey menu bar is back. Or black. Up to you.
>>106596760Saar why did you redeem the corners
>>106596803And dark mode.
>>106596803>>106596814>All transparency can be turned off.this is good because when the top bar is full transparent and you have a busy wallpaper it would look terrible
Who the fuck is "liquid glass" supposed to appeal to? I don't sit down at my computer and think "wow I sure wish my tool had some obnoxious fucking animations that would sure spice up my life" WHO FUCKING ASKED FOR THIS BRING BACK SONOMA'S UI YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS
>>106596858You can also bring back the previous frosted look for the menu bar in the system settings. Honestly, It's nice having four different options to choose from instead of one.
>>106596864>WHO FUCKING ASKED FOR THISAll those faggots pining for Vista's Aero interface.
>>106596887>You can also bring back the previous frosted look for the menu bar in the system settings.that's what I was hoping, thank god.for now I have updated to 15.7 because I am waiting for the installer in the app store to make a clean install, wonder when it will be up.
>>106596917Honestly Liquid Ass is so limited here, it's really not worth all the fuss. What should be getting people mad is just how fucking ugly these iPad style menus (which ironicaly have less transparency effects than Sequoia) are.
>>106583905Gotta say Apple did it again. I’m already used to the new aesthetic and don’t miss the old one. This is based.
>>106596965>>106596979I don't know what to think about the new finder, looks like shit compared to the old one
>>106596987I’m only on iPadOS 26 atm. Still using a 2015 MBP on Monterey for now. If they release an M5 MBP next month I’ll probably get it.
>>106596987Light mode is better. But not by much. The previous look was much better.
Remember when Gnome was copying macos instead of the other way around?
>>106583905It's not about the looks but about the sovl, they will never be windows 7
>>106597100They don't need to. They had their own soul. But they abandoned that too, after mavericks.
Could you guys keep posting screenshots
Wow, I can't believe, real iToddlers who own macs, I thought there are only shills.
The world is healingSociety is mendingThe Great Work is being lead towards completion
WTF is this shit border around icons. It looks like some 3d party crap gnome theme. Where is the fruiter? where is the aero? WHERE IS THE SKEUMORPHISM?? I WAS PROMISED LEOPARD AND I GET THIS?????THANKS TIM, I'M CRYING RIGHT NOW
this looks like fucking dogshitnot updating
I hope the design team gets fired, Sequoia was so good compared to this
>>106597145God I miss OSX. A complete visual mess of skeumorphism taken way too far, but damn it looks good.
>>106597467Yeah its so ugly I think I might have to remove all the icons. I have no idea how any designer thought that looked good.
>>106597581no joke I'm think about hiding the dock forever and use spotlight for everything, which was actually improved
>>106597495>>106597502>>106597568>>106597581man I dodged a bullet, I knew it was going to turn out awful, this is exactly why I sold my macbook last month.
>>106597581>>106597604There's some potential with the tinting option, but boy oh boy is it inconsistent. Forgot apps that don't work at all, the ones that do are crazy inconsistent. Can't even stick to the same colour.
>>106597622I will say for all the liquid ass and gnome bullshit, it's still a million times better looking than Winjeet 11.
>>106597663Your thing is about to die
>>106597663They still have the weird borders on them :/ I'm really trying to find some way to live with the design but its so fucking bad to look at. I really don't want to have to reinstall.
>>106597698A more up to date showcase of your screenshot, and not even StartAllBack fixes this inconsitencyI'll be damned
>>106584224>subjective experience.stupid ahh pleonasm
>>106597706Nah, 17% is still plenty for M1 and up. Still got another two hours I reckon.
>>106597772That's impressive
One more screenshot. Clear + Dark on the dock actually looks good I think. And look at that, Discord is behaving now.
This shit is actually fucking hideous. >horrible messy rounded corners in rounded corners with the stoplight... inside the fucking grey box where the folders are? IT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE>icon flowing out of bounds or something? Why does this look so cramped?>What the fuck is going on at the right? The scrollbar overflows the top but not the bottom? Why is the button hanging off into the scrollbar area? Why does the scrollbar area extend up there if it's already at the top?
Is it just me or it all looks kinda retro?
>>106597912It looks rushed
Thank god I updated only to 15.7 for now, maybe they will revert some of the changes
>>106597934Definitely, yeah
>>106597912no it looks amateurish. like cosmic
So tacky. Looks like it was designed by a toddler.
>>106596987that sidebar looks like garbagemore over items seems to be a bit bigger and have more spacingwhy did they redeem?
Truly an OS inspired by windows vista, let's hope 27 is the windows 7 to this dogshit.
>>106597885Looks broken in some parts. At this point they'll have to introduce circular windows at some point. They're almost there
Speaking entirely visually I was down for Yosemite. That was fine except being laggy. Some people complained but I thought it looked fine. Big Sur was a downgrade, but minor. Overall it was still usable. The settings app redesign in Ventura should have been a warning. But holy shit Tahoe is fucking retarded. This looks juvenile.
this is going to be fixed by the time Sequoia is out of support, right?
Both of these windows are as far to the top of the screen as they can go btw. But the stoplight conrols just end up who knows where because I guess different rounded corners have different vibes and it's heckin sovlful trukenuke
>>106583905not upgrading, sorry
iOS 7 is beyond disgusting but it eventually lead to something nice. Hopefully tahoe is leads to something good but i'm skeptical. With the new iPhone designs as well I think apple has finally lost it
>>106598299But wait, there's more! Apple's own terminal and their activity monitor don't have consistent stoplight placement. What the hell is even going on here?
holy fuck I just upgraded ios and it actually looks like ASS
>>106598372We fucking told you. It looks like shit and the readability on notifications is complete trash.
looks nice
>>106598399I thought they fixed it in some beta man fuck. reduce transparency also is shit: wtf is this picrel????
>>106598416No that cannot be real. This must be some fake or old screenshot apple did not realease that for real.
>>106598416It's an absolute fucking mess and I need to "downgrade" because it's a hazard to do anything on your phone while driving now because you can't visually tell whats going on at a glance anymore. They added a bunch of trash effects to please a e s t h e t i c zoomer faggots like >>106598415 and took away legibility.
>>106598415Turn off liquid ass in the system settings and there's actual potential for a classic looking setup here. Unless you're on iOS holy shit >>106598416
>>106598464>>106598416Seriously is this a real screenshot?
>>106598328This was already an issue in Sequoia (picrel, I haven't updated), although it seems worse in Tahoe
>>106598527This is one reason I updated anyway. The problem has been there for a while, we just never noticed until now. And once I started seeing it in Sequoia, I couldn't unsee it.
>>106598328>>106598527do you guys really use those?
>>106598464>>106598511yes, it actually depends on the background. It looks a bit better for white and black background, but home screen looks like certified ASS
>you now have to wait for icons to load in
>>106598675This should have never made it out of testing phase btw. This is basic contrast and usability testing. These faggots thought they oneshot and never reviewed usecases. How many fucking jeets are deployed at apple these days?
>>106598678no fucking way kek, looks worse than Windows icon loading
>>106584224Jeet who made this dogshit detected
>>106598757He's cheap and loves heckin quirked up things that the kids like on social media. That's literally all it takes to become a corporate designer btw. Just copy what people want to see. The fact that Tahoe is fucking windows vista pt 2 is probably irrelevant, he got paid and probably some whore in SV sucked his dick. Mission accomplished.
it makes everything laggy on my ipad 10 :/ i do love that i can attach folders to the dock now tho
>>106597663>cumbait
>spotlight is actually really good nowFug. Can we just have normal macos without the retarded shit? I don't care about AI emojis or stupid desktop effects. Why is this so hard now?
>>106598886im okay with everything as long as i can avoid it. but this liquid ass is hard to ignore. i will soon switch to internally complaining about it. but i will be happy when it is gone. there's no way they come up with something worse than this
>>106598678Shit looks like an android theme no cap. Android theme on an emulator. Dire straits at Apple if they are dumping this release as-is.
>>106598678This only happens when you switch icon designs, like switching to dark. Not that it should happen at all, but this isn't usual behaviour.
>>106598886>spotlight, menu bar, and control panel vastly improved>launchpad is fucking dead>visually a massive step backwardsIt's such a mixed bag.
This is so assDoesn't even show recent 5 apps atop, instead they're (seemingly) completely randomly chosen.Also why did they remove compact tabs from Safari? Such a retarded change
>>106598900>i will soon switch to internally complaining about it.Appreciate that if you have ability to influence. This is actually a bad design choice made to follow trends or seem cool. It's not engineering design, it's a sort of fashion design. I don't give a fuck if it seems cool or not, I want to read information from the screen, and I want to be able to act on it. I need to do things in my life. Fashion designers are not welcome in engineering.
>>106599017It's actual trash. Some of it seems neat (spotlight or whatever) but you get into this half-baked shit that feels like you installed a linux live usb from 2009. Or maybe that's cool and sovlfvl or whatever college kids are re-inventing as an excuse to be lazy.
>>106599017>Doesn't even show recent 5 apps atop, instead they're (seemingly) completely randomly chosen.just takes some usage lil bro
>>106599051>It's not engineering design, it's a sort of fashion design. What else did you expect from an Apple product? If you want an engineer's wet dream, install Arch.>>106599017There's a solution you're not seeing here.
>>106598678Wow that's KDE Level Jank
>>106599145>>106598678seems to only happen on the first load after updooting
>>106599196To be fair that means it's a some caching issue... But that doesn't mean it's not jankie af
>>106596864This is just a phase for Apple. Liquid ass will be disappear in time.
macos is ugly. horrible tabs in terminal and safari.fat scrollbars.icons in menus are horrible, especially if some menu items have icons and some don't, because the text isn't aligned.
>>106597145Aqua really was worlds ahead of everyone back in the 00's. Too bad it's dead.
>>106599238they spent millions in this, it's gonna stay for at least a decade
>>106598960The UI garbage makes it unusable. The UI is not mediocre, it's visually opinionated in a very shit way. Which sucks because spotlight has always been such a great feature that needed more and it's finally getting more... and it's attached to probably the worst UI deadweight OS that has existed in the last 20 years.Tahoe's UI is fucking garbage. It's entire design language is fucking shitskin pajeet trash. It's digital glass beads. It's like a fucking javascript framework put on a skinsuit to make an OS, and I am looking directly at NextJS homepage when I say this because the design language is exactly that.Sequoia might be mediocre or generic but it works. It conveys ideas and gets out of your way. This shit gets in your way.
>>106599460what's wrong with the UI?
>>106599487saaar...
>>106599487It's half-assed and made for visual effects. The visual effects impact usability. A computer is a tool and if effects impact usability it becomes an anti-tool.
>>106584224kek
>>106599251>fat scrollbars>uglyYou take that back. The removal of fat scrollbars was the beginning of the end.
>>106599522Scrollbars were never the problem. Snow Leopard was a legendary OS for a reason. 26 (absolutely shit name) is pure garbage. Do not install 26 on your phone or your macOS devices. It's trash.
>>106599502> The visual effects impact usability.Sure but what specifically? I know some people had issues seeing when the transparent buttons are layered. My eyes are pretty good so it never affected me, but I get it.Other than that I’m actually not sure what the deal is, but I do tend to use the keyboard a lot, so maybe I just don’t use whatever buttons you’re clicking
Should I upgrade to liquid ass if I have an iPhone 11? I haven’t updated past 17.4.1
Third party apps finally appeared after a couple of restarts.Now it's not as shit as before, although some sorting options would be great, at least hiding certain lesser used apps in folders so they don't clutter this already tiny window
>>106599537My ideal OS gets out of the way and lets me do things. The notifications on iOS are not readable in dark mode. The Messages app is a straight downgrade and has floating shit that overlap the main panel. It's fucking trash.
>>106599522if they were aqua scrollbars it would be awesome. instead they are just grey.
>>106599555> after a couple of restarts.Just use the thing so it can get some info about what you tend to use. Jesus Christ you’re just playing with it. This is what most “the OS is le getting in my way” niggers are, like this guy >>106599563
>>106599582It was a bug, no amount of use would've made third party apps appear.Also does anyone know whether there is a way to change the lock screen clock color back to how it was? Looks inconsistent with weather and media widgets imo.
>>106599582God forbid this guy actually has a job that depends on his computer devices working properly. Tell me how bubbly transparency improves my life while I can hardly read the messages on my phone because you think some animations are more important.
>>106599638The "4:00" here is impossible to read in direct sunlight.
>>106599654Well that’s the thing, I use them primarily for work and that’s where I’m coming from. If you’re just poking around looking for things to complain about on your toy, that makes sense. Just using it as a tool, I don’t get it. But like I said before I understand if you have some disability that I don’t understand or your workflow is very mouse-centric and I’m just oblivious to it because I use my keyboard a lot
>>106599654Somehow I doubt your job involves autisticaly quibbling over the recent apps in spotlight search not working properly right away.
Macintosh has been going down hill since they ditched the Platinum style in OSX.
>>106599638I see what you did there
>>106583905No thanks, I'll be sticking with real aero (Windows 7)Besides, they need to go back to the brushed metal Aqua from OS X Tiger anyway
>>106584244>>106588623>>106589363>>106594939>>106594957iJEETS BTFO
It looks completely fine. Not sure why people are being drama queens about it.
>>106596044looks better with light mode iconsdark/tinted icons have this ugly border with white highlights
>>106598735Rejecting their design proposals, PRs, etc is racist btw
>>106599983Only the best and brightest. M series chips are basically the best hardware humans have produced. It's a shame that it results in basically a good OS covered in trash.
>>106596015>having such a bloated deviceyou faggots make me want to puke
They didn't test iPadOS 26 with the Magic KeyboardThe new cursor looks nice, but the screen glitches and flickering are even more apparent when you use the cursor to trigger the notification shade, control center gestures
>>106600098That seems like a normal thing they should test. This entire release seems half-baked.
>>106600130These jeets don't even need the Magic Keyboard to test it, a regular keyboard and mouse connected wirelessly or through a USB hub should produce the same results
google.....
>>106600084Why do you feel like that?
>>106600200come to think of it, why is their own proprietary cloud service so damn slow and unresponsive compared to drive?
>>106600200Is this how finder looks now? lmao at the homoglow
>>106598415Holy fucking shit this looks horrible, if you told me this was some Jeet made knock off macOS theme for KDE and not actual macOS, I wouldn't have believed you.macOS catalina was perfect, this shit is just unusable for any serious work.
>>106600269how are these aesthetics preventing you from doing any serious work? you sound like a very unserious person who does not do any work
>>106600398get rid of the glass effect and rounded cornes and it will be fine, I do work on my computer not stare at fucking glass widgets and little gay animations
>>106600419Apparently not true
>>106598299>>106598328it has always been like this and it's consisted
Everything is a mess.Where are my compact tabs on Safari?????There's too many rounded shit on screen at the same time, the icons in menus are catastrophic ...How do we downgrade sirs?I was planning on getting my first iPhone but if the new iOS looks as ass as Tahoe I might not.
>>106598527it's normal different toolbars has different controls
>>106599432the redesign everything every 5 years
>>106600898They removed it on iPadOS too>finally give the option to make the address and tab bars sticky>remove compact modeThis gay ass company
its over for liquid ass.

>>106589674>garbage file management
My ISP seems to be throttling the download, whether through System Settings or downloading the whole installer from Apple's CDN, to like 30kbps. All other downloads for me normal. How do I get around this not having a paid VPN?Any other source of the installer besides https://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/26/38/093-37779-A_Y4733G5GHI/adlxnkoqzyrrzfl1r5krg7ql0cod8vpl5e/InstallAssistant.pkg ?

>>106596545Yes manjeet ship it, do the needful.
>>106596805This is totally inexcusable from Apple, the company that prides itself on good design and consistency. How was this allowed to happen?!?! What was wrong with the old radius anyway??
stop calling it fruitnigger aero
>>106598314This was peak aesthetic for Apple.
why is everything peak round?
>>106601170>How was this allowed to happen?!?!I think because this time there’s a jeet the design lead or something, and of course he has to ruin it

>>106589674fuck offI regret updooting my iPad Pro (M2)Outside of Procreate, I use my Magic Keyboard to interact with it and it's just way worse nowThe stoplight window controls disappear really quickly when you hover the cursor over it, the multitasking toggles that disable the menu bar only works for touchNot to mention the huge rounded corners on windows and buttonsIt's funny, I don't mind the big liquid ass buttons on my iPhone mini, but it's just tons of wasted space on the iPadI guess they finally added sticky menu bars on Safari, but Compact tabs had to go away for that to happen
I don't want to use my computer or phone today. I don't want to look at them.
