It's quite bad, not gonna lie. Tabs are readable, but the design there is far from ideal.
I wish it was readable at least.

Unbelievable they won't bring back compact tabs too.
The level of design they are putting out these days is absolutely soulless & decadent.
 
It doesn’t seem ready for a public beta, but they’re gonna force it along their regular schedule no matter what
 
Its not bad overall, nothing seems broken (so far anyway). The curves on windows are in danger of turning me into a Victorian psychopath who will begin terrorising the streets of Whitechapel.

Main issue for me has been form elements in Safari which are a bit hard to see.
 
Has anyone tried the Tahoe public beta on a 2018 MacBook Pro Retina?
It's in the list of models that cannot be updated to Tahoe.
But it might work?
I’d expect Tahoe to be supported for that Mac through OpenCore Legacy Patcher at some point, but it’s unlikely to happen before the actual release.
 
Liquid Glass is fine, it's used so sparingly across the OS that it's not that intrusive. But the whole OS just feels... ugly. When I heard Apple was adopting the glassy look from visionOS I was excited because I was hoping they'd be taking the gray, smoked glass look. I think the fundamental problem with this redesign is that they're trying to do everything white on white using only faint shadows and gradients to provide depth and differentiation.

My biggest issue is the sidebars. Since Yosemite sidebars have had a visual differentiation from the main window by using a soft, blurred translucency. Now they're a slab of Liquid Glass that floats above the window contents. For apps like Maps or Home it provides a neat effect because the contents slide under the sidebar, but for the majority of windows there's nothing underneath, it's just plain white with a tiny hint of color refraction from the desktop or window contents.
