I think I'm in the minority who loved all new macOS icons and this icon trend. Would love to see them on iOS/iPadOS too but they may put a difference on icons between systems as a rule, so I can understand that
WOW, why did they decide to do this horrible translucent background around the document when zoomed out?
I don’t need to see anything beyond what I’m working on! 🤯🤯🤯
And this crazy ORANGE color in the menus??? My eyes constantly keep running away from my text to the menus. OMG WTH, it’s soooo distracting!!! 😱🤦♂️🤷♂️
Agree! It's not even that they are shaped like iOS icons now (which I do not like personally) but some of them are just plain bad. The shadows on Messages and FaceTime are horrible, others like iWork are just super lazy. The worst thing is, most of them look significantly better in their iOS iterations (compare iWork icons, Logic Pro X vs Logic Remote etc.)I love the overall look of Big Sur but those icons are butt.
It's possible to run a team remotely and get things done right. This is just lack of leadership.Another “workin’ from home” situation.😐
This is caused by the new “Multicolor” option in System Prefs / General. Just pick any fix color instead.And this crazy ORANGE color in the menus??? My eyes constantly keep running away from my text to the menus. OMG WTH, it’s soooo distracting!!! 😱🤦♂️🤷♂️
As Rosan, Rosannadana (oblique reference to SNL in the early days) used to say "never mind"I doubt it’s even changed, just seems to be for Apple Silicon. Of course, this DOES mean the next version that actually has new features won’t work on Catalina either.
UPDATE: I take it back. The ACTUAL release notes you link to from within the app has a good bunch of changes I’m sure anyone would love.
These comments are totally hilarious. the snowflakes and haters have been saying how bad Catalina is (not my experience) for so long and now they refuse to upgrade to Big Sur (which is awesome), I guess they are secret Catalina lovers. who knew?The iWork updates work nicely on catalina but the new GarageBand can’t be installed on Catalina.. Like seriously, wtf?
I just updated, the icons look fine, they are icons (so who really cares?).I just love the posts of "Those icons suck" "They are the worst crap ever". Only because it's Apple would anyone say such crap. Those icons are beautiful. And if the icons hurt your eyes so bad then there's always Windows 10's super amazing, super beautiful and super innovative UI if you can't handle it.
I personally love Catalina and don't plan on updating to Big Sur anytime soon, its a bummer the new garageband isn't supported on CatalinaThese comments are totally hilarious. the snowflakes and haters have been saying how bad Catalina is (not my experience) for so long and now they refuse to upgrade to Big Sur (which is awesome), I guess they are secret Catalina lovers. who knew?
am I the only one who can’t stand skeuomorphism and thinks half of Big Sur looks like absolute garbage??
Those with some graphic design sensibility care. You do know that it's possible for people to be bothered about different things, right? Believe it or not the universe isn't built on just your perspective.I just updated, the icons look fine, they are icons (so who really cares?).
Logic can be updated on Catalina too.I get that but if that was truly the case then iMovie wouldn't be compatible with Catalina as well and we know that it is as i just updated iMovie on Catalina
It will be more than a little distracting that my standby Catalina system (2012 vintage so it is not possible to upgrade to Big Sur at least officially) will be constantly notifying me about app updates that I will be permanently unable to install.These comments are totally hilarious. the snowflakes and haters have been saying how bad Catalina is (not my experience) for so long and now they refuse to upgrade to Big Sur (which is awesome), I guess they are secret Catalina lovers. who knew?
