Apple apps that are not yet Liquid Glassed

[Apple Knowledge Navigator]

i find nothing trivial about the work i do in it...

The work you do in it.

you're panicking before the fact. also, pages (i sometimes also use numbers) is not the suite itself, it's the document app. and i find nothing trivial about the work i do in it...

You asked what people expect if the app were changed. You addressed the question to me so I answered to be polite. I feel no panic or even concern. Your question was strange since it was pretty obvious what changes Apple might make to introduce Liquid Glass to Pages.

you (basically) have a document, and you add text.

That's a very trivial usage of the app and that usage was how you framed your confusion about what Apple might change in Pages.

If you really were describing your own usage, then not much in Liquid Glass will effect you. It doesn't matter that the various controls used to manipulate the content might become harder to use, since you don't use them (or don't use them much).

also, pages (i sometimes also use numbers) is not the suite itself, it's the document app.

Sorry I made the assumption that everyone already knew that. When I wrote "Apple positions Pages as part of an office suite" and "If they glass Pages, they will also have to glass Numbers and Keynote as well, to provide a coherent, unified design for the whole package.", I assumed everyone understood the suite consisted of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. These are substitutes for Microsoft's Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, respectively.

Pages is a word processor/layout program. Numbers is a spreadsheet program. Keynote is a slide creation/presentation program. All of these application are document applications in that each window focuses on a single document identified in the title bar.

i am asking what you'd expect to see 'glassed'... am curious because am not sure what elements in the app window could be affected; for that, i meant no harm, just genuinely curious.

All good.

I was only guessing what they might do. But, I admit that I had my pessimist hat on; that's why I called my guesses "some missteps that might be made glassifying Pages". It could be that with a new head of design, the changes (if they make any) will be better than what I described.

It terms of changes that could definitely be classified as "glass" effects, I would expect them mainly to be done for all the formatting controls that are currently displayed in the right sidebar. It's not hard to imagine something like what one sees in the control center being used for making formatting changes.
