It seems that 2000's Aero Glass is finally making a comeback, and the fact that Apple's the one doing it seems to indicate this could be a new trend since companies tend to copy whatever Apple does.

What does /tech/ think of it? I personally love it!

lol is that real?
Windows Aero was better

Skeuomorphism is nice, but only if you can actually see your icons past the transparency and reflections.
Unfortunately the flat design brainrot seems to ripped out all the color Crapple used to have in the iOS 4 days, so I expect Microshaft to make a black-and-brown UI with a built-in CRT >filter you can only deactivate through code injection for Windows 12.

For some reason I just imagine a alternative universe where he didn't die and they suggest a Zune UI

Steve Jobs was amazing, but even if it's true that he would've hated Liquid Glass, which we don't know by the way, he wasn't always perfect. He hated styluses despite the Apple Pencil being a big part of the iPad's success, he wanted the iPad to be a device between smartphones and laptops, while iPadOS 26's reception shows people like iPadOS to feel more like MacOS too..

Thank you for your insights, Bangladesh Apple shill. MacOS is a piece of shit cloud spyware OS same as Windows and iOS. Whenever you launch a program it phones home. It reports file hashes even if you're not logged into an account.

>between smartphones and laptops,
i assume he meant literally, not figuratively? because you cannot have laptop-like device with locked bootloader. closest to that already existed, called netbook

oh and before that PDAs were those devices. they ran windows knockoffs, and most had real keyboards. not having keyboard for proper programming is not how you make device between phone and laptop if you targeting work devices

Dunno bout niggerjeetshills but the Skeuomorphnig UIs employed by late 2000s macfagware and Wangblows Vista+Sacred 7 were objectively superior to this Liquid Glass faggot design on account of not being based on flat/material design ESGDEIBRIDGE principles.
In addition to muh transparency and muh gradients the Windowns Aero UI not only had a stronger blurring effect, but the blurring itself was accentuated by various additional "fake" effects like fake windowpane light rays/"reflections" made out of sprites/simple vectors layered on top, and all the UI elements you could click on had noticeable accents and bulges which would light up/animate when you hovered over or clicked on them.
Aero was also not afraid to use a multitude of colors aside from the standard blue to further help distinguish between various elements and lead the eye onwards, and much like old iOS always remained in "style" even when it didn't need to the <- -> buttons in Windows Explorer are a good example of this.
Potemkindows 10 by comparison looked like some kid's first UI made on an Amazon tablet, and Liquid Glass is the equivalent of slapping a CRT >filter on a Californian "retro-inspired" 2D pixelshitter game from 2014 made in Flash with seamless sprite scaling+rotation.

>translucent safety rectangles and a wallpaper you're going to replace with anime titties anyway (or some nigger celebrity because you're a macfag I guess)
BRAVO TIM APPLE

Putting 2D eye candy behind a slightly transparent window really doesn't work as well if it is blurred, so macfags don't even get to enjoy that. Not to imply that most of them could appreciate it, of course.

Putting 2D art in a terminal makes more sense anyways rather than basically blurring every thing and just making a worse user experience in general.
Degrading the UI just for the sake of  aesthetic is just asinine yet for some reason I have a feeling that there won't be an option to pretty much revert.

nice i tried this once but found it more distracting than anything
