in MacOS Tahoe is more than a change in the face, since MacOS Sequoia
maybe it's just because it is funny how quickly you get used to the new MacOS. But a couple of days after Apple made him sound incredibly new and different, the visual differences in MacOS Tahoe seem small, but still useful.
As in the case of iOS 26, we can say that the redesign of liquid glass puts a new surface on the Mac, without changing what is liba. Nevertheless, visual design is a deep part of what advantages of performance came with MacOS Tahoe.
For example, Apple had almost 30 years to introduce a buffer manager, but instead left it to third-party applications, because it also left it for power users. Apple is always focusing on random or light users that make up most of their customers, but now she believes that it is time to give them the opportunity to insert the exchange of exchanges from the story.
, and this is done by receiving a familiar spotlight and breaking it visually. While you know to press the command space to call Spotlight, now you immediately see a new option.
top: the old center of attention. Below: a new spotlight with its much clearer parameters
In fact, you see that there are options, and although they are right here on your face, they also do not interfere. Liquid glass, along with a well -chosen separation of the tools of the spotlight means that it is easier for users to find this function.
, when you use functions where it may not be so obvious where you find control, the liquid glass made it more obvious. For example, in any media player previously a small position icon in the slider was replaced by much more noticeable, elongated, which is difficult to miss.
Content comes first of all
this is a funny thing, but more and bright glossy elements of the control of Mac are intended In order to hide the same controls. Apple wants our content, the work that we do, and the media that we use to be the most outstanding thing.
This is immediately obvious if you try to find the route somewhere on Apple maps. Previously, you entered one place in the search field in the upper left corner, and then clicked on the found place in the map itself.
Then there will be a pop-up window that you had to fill in the starting point or end if you planned the route from here. It was good, but it was a little awkward and easy to release a dialogue to search for routes.
Apple Maps now holds its element of searching for the direction to the side of the map itself
now you enter the lefhic column in the search panel, but when you do it, the columns of the same size come out of it. You go there is somewhere between these two columns, and this is simply more natural, even professionally to do what you need.
clearly seeing
The best and most extreme example of creating content is priority, this is how transparent & mdash; Or really translucent word & mdash; The furniture on the Mac screen can now be. The default menu bar is invisible that, as Apple says, means that you see more of your work.
The dock has at least elements of this glass invisibility, but it can also be completely turned off. The dock can be installed so that all the badges of his applications are glass.
You do not need to have a transparent dock (above), but now you do not need to have a transparent dock (above), but now you can
so with a glass dock, and also in the form show how on the Mac screen.
at the moment, with the very first beta developer, the effect will spoil how some applications do not play beautifully. Their full-color icons shine from a glass dock, like a grinning mouth with one tooth.
But these applications will appear as soon as the developers get more than 20 minutes to work on their applications. Thus, it will become better, it will receive that the illusion of our work filling the entire screen has improved.
Mac Menubar is now invisible and you cannot change it.
Readability
The only area in which all this transparency or transparency, however, is in reading. If you cannot read what you need, or cannot find the right application, the liquid glass will be SAP performance.
and you can get into this situation. Since the menu and dialogs now allow you to see more background through them, there are combinations of colors that do not work.
This should not take place, because the color effect in any Mac or dialog box should be calculated to be clear compared to what background there is. Maybe this is what will develop and develop when Apple passes a beta -process.
It is difficult to see how the dock will change. And at present, if you have it to show glass icons, this requires a lot of addiction.
Some new dock badges are slightly inserted & mdash; Although others are not yet transparent. This means that the application icons are fractionally smaller, even if they occupy the same space in the dock.
, therefore, you lose when you can find colors, and you lose when you can so easily detect the shape of the icon. You still have muscle memory about where the application is in your dock.
The form follows the function
There is nothing wrong with the fact that MacOS visually wipes, and this contributes to the feeling that you have a new Mac. But visual effects should perform a function, they should provide benefits.
much of what MacOS Tahoe does is due to focus on your work. But there are also smaller strokes that are not bright, but are part of the design & mdash; And it just makes sense.
at the time of MacOS Tahoe, if you change the volume on your Mac, visual confirmation is supplied with a small wide icon showing a slider. This icon, however, is located upward in the upper part of the screen instead of being large graphics to the lower middle of the display.
The old volume indicator (right) and the new indicator of the old volume (right) and the new indicator of the old volume (right) and the new indicator of the old volume (right) and the new
>This is immediately better if you once had to restart the screen recording, because you leaned to the volume button. But this is also better, because it means that the information is displayed right where all the Mac notifications are going on.
especially for new users, it strengthens where to look for to find out what you need.
Although, oddly enough, Apple also suffered something almost the opposite.
in MacOS Sequoia, if you have labels in your minubar, pressing its icon gives you an opening menu. Taking into account that in MacOS Tahoe, instead he represents a dialog box, approximately in the center of your display.
Labels in the menu panels used to be an opening menu (left)
The new method of Macos Tahoe has an advantage that also has advantages. They are simply not very useful details and mdash; Most of the time he says how many actions or steps in the label.
there is also a discrepancy. In this example, you can use a keyboard to press a refund to the label and therefore start it. But in similar dialogs that you create using shortcuts, you must use a mouse or trackpad.
Small changes can mean a lot
it was converted by an apple, it was converted. To make this sound as a transformation of Mac. But it looked like one when they showed it, and it still looked like a little alone, when you first start using beta -version.
you are still doing, although you get used to everything new. You get used to it almost immediately.
, and with a detailed study of liquid glass, it means to think less and less about its scale and innovation, there is still. Spend an hour on MacOS Tahoe and last year's Sequoia MacOS looks and feels so old.
