Apple apps that are not yet Liquid Glassed

[Apple Knowledge Navigator]

There are still a fair number of Mac apps that have yet to be updated with Liquid Glass, despite Tahoe being announced almost 6 months ago. Would be interested to hear thoughts on why this may be, and what we can expect from any updates. Apps that I don't believe have been updated include:

Pages
Numbers
Keynote
Logic Pro
GarageBand
Final Cut
iMovie
Mainstage

Wouldn't blame them for doing a half-glassed job. 🥃

Surprised they haven't even updated the GarageBand icon though. It's still stuck in squircle jail:

what is it you'd expect to see? those apps all look like they usually look, they don't significantly change to 'match' the current OS (i use logic, final cut, pages, numbers...). just not sure what would change...

SwiftUI apps compiled on Tahoe with any target above macOS 14 automatically get LG elements. The only way to avoid it is compile on a system lower than Tahoe with a lower OS target.

I’m not surprised Pages and Numbers haven’t been updated. Apple is going to have to do something about color wells because the rectangular color picker is replaced with a circular one in Tahoe and it sucks badly.

Liquid Glass integration, as per the system apps.

Usually? You must be referring to the Sequoia GUI.

That's exactly my point: they haven't been updated to match the Liquid Glass interface as per the system apps.

iMovie

I was wondering if iMovie has been abandoned altogether. It was last updated on 14 November 2024.

Interesting. I use it often and find it to be boring but functional app, maybe Apple just has no reason to update it?

Besides optimizing it for Tahoe, Apple M5 should have been at least one reason to update it.

Well that makes rolling back macOS Tahoe liquid Glass less of a bummer. It's a win-win in this respect.
