The design changes are underwhelming on the Mac, I agree. Still looks flat and washed out on light mode.
Got a tip for us?

How are they going to screw up the control panel this time and what settings are they going to remove or hide?
I know. And mail and calendar can sit back another year too 🙄. That mail icon, jeez. Nothing in Reminders and Notes that was stated. Looks like we have to go through “all the little things” for improvements.
I argree. In the mean time , I'm using Raycast. But if Spotlight is better, then time to make a move
How did they mess this up so much? Literally clipboard is the only positive.
They misunderstood the entire community and instead of adding mac os to ipad they ported ipad OS to Mac, lol. I doubt a lot of creatives will be updating. This will also eat Ram a lot I think.

The new UI is just awful. Try reading the text underneath "Energy Mode"... you have to squint to read it because of the translucency behind it.
Finder, context menus and pull down menus need a visual overhaul to match the new design language. Menus especially should be unified with the iPhone’s: larger text, more padding between items, simple icons, translucent background. The current setup is straight out of the 1990s.
Reminds me of Windows Vista and customisation I did. When I was 14.
We are not on the same page at all, I was thinking about 0 new features in Finder.
The announced clipboard history is indeed a key feature for me. If Spotlight turns to be snappy it could replace Alfred which has served me very well so far.
It's not that you're getting old. Apple has made it a habit these last few years of taking **** that's been done and rolling it into an update with fancy naming conventions and saying it's "innovative".
Ok, this is from the Apple.com iPadOS page. If this is the new style on MacOs I’ll be very happy.
Aside from some technical innovations like APFS, the reality is that Apple does not innovate any more in the software space. Every new release of macOS is even worse than the last.
Ill give this a shot but some of these glass screenshots, particularly on the iphone, looked confusing with too much hidden content bleeding through.
So far Alfred has been superior in a way or another compared to Spotlight. That's been my experience. We'll see whether Spotlight will be on par with similar dedicated apps or not.
True. I bet it gets tweaked. Pretty trivial to dial up the blur effect.The new UI is just awful. Try reading the text underneath "Energy Mode"... you have to squint to read it because of the translucency behind it.
If the past is any guide, there will be a control in Accessibility to kill it through "reduce transparency".
Personal opinion, of course, but awful looking. Stop messing with a desktop OS and making it worse; save it for phones and iPads.
There will most likely be accessibility options to turn off the translucency because it will undoubtedly be unusable for some people.
With the white on white against white design, it will be harder for anybody to see anything on your devices -- including someone looking over your shoulder.
Privacy. That's iPhone.
