macOS Tahoe’s visual interface:
- Fits largely rectangular contents into windows with excessively
rounded corners.- Enlarges controls without any functional benefit.
- Results in app icons being more uniform, thus less
distinguishable and memorable.- Fails to distinguish tools, controls and other interface
elements using differences in tone, so making them harder
to use.- Makes a mess where transparent layers are superimposed, and
won’t reduce transparency when that’s needed to render its
interface more accessible.Maybe this is because I’m getting older, but that gives me the
benefit of having experienced Apple’s older interfaces, with their
exceptional quality and functionality.
It’s just remarkable how much better-looking MacOS was 10 years ago.
