macOS Golden Gate 27.0 Beta 6 - What’s New

[OptimusGrime]

Theres no way that's actually real.

It’s a preview of the 28 “Jelly Wobble” releases.

It's real, I tried it. I think they accidentally ported this part over.

Or it’s intentional with the touch screen MacBook Pro/Ultra in mind. I feel they shouldn’t be that flexible though. It’ll most likely get more refined throughout the coming betas.

Could someone also confirm that they fixed the iCloud Private Relay leaking your real IP through Passkey?

What makes it even funnier, is that you can't do this on iPadOS 27. 🤪 Which is ALL touchscreen.

Or not yet. 😏

Seems like it’s deliberate and they are proud of it. I haven’t used it so will reserve final judgement but I don’t really get this or like it.

The slight wobble effect the volume and brightness sliders had when moving them in previous betas has been removed

Every control in iOS does this

Gosh dang it. GRID Legends is still broken :-(

Ok. This is macOS.

I love the look of these! I was just thinking that considering all the other buttons are glass it was odd that those were still flat

In light mode, the widgets are missing the highlights at the top and bottom. If you check them out in Dark Mode, they look a lot more like Liquid Glass because of those highlights. I hope they fix this.

why?

This is super funny lol 👌🏻

 

[Dust-by-Monday]

I hate the new traffic buttons. Someone please find a plist edit so we can have the old ones back. The new pastel colors are really ugly to me. I can't get over how washed out they look in light mode. Actually looks good in dark mode but I don't use dark mode.

Edit: They also got rid of the warping bubble effect when dragging sliders around. Now it's just a static bubble.

I'm not criticizing anyone who complains about the traffic lights. But the amount of negative attention a small cosmetic issue is getting suggests that this beta is pretty good otherwise, so far.

 

[DICK_CHENEY]

this is how my traffic lights look everywhere lmao

great work team

 

[Cape Dave]

Eww traffic lights are now Liquid Glass, they look horrible. 🙁

Those effing things are microscopically teeny tiny. An abhorrent abuse of correct UI/UX. Apple has clearly lost their way completely. Eff these things, no matter what color or glass they are.

Small annoyances are often the BIGGEST annoyances. Ever have a mosquito in your room? Yeah, these ****ers are like that.

This really shows how oval they have become… wtf are those giant shadows on the left and right of each traffic light

"degustibus non disputandum est" that means everyone's taste is not a reason of dispute. I loved the Aqua interface, I was disappointed when the macOS bewcame flat and non-skeumorphic. I am happy now. This is macOS, not Windows 11. But this is my opinion. Everyone is free to agree or disagree.

 

[kecinzer]

Is there link for full installer?

[Audentia]

I think this just needs some refinement. The concept seems sound and, as others have said, it’s a nice reminder of Aqua. Will probably just need a little work to get right.

yes agreed, I actually like them, although they do need some tweaking still. I think they’re just not as crisp as they used to be but otherwise they actually match the rest of the toolbar buttons much better now. If they tweak the saturation and frost should solve it. Kinda like how v1 glass app icons looked like trash but now the v2 ones genuinely look nice.

Yeah, seems to be fixed both on iPhone and Mac

In fairness I don't believe the size changed at all. In fact I don't believe the size of the traffic buttons has changed at all since Yosemite, if not Lion. They actually looked smaller in Lion because of the 3d-effect which I believe may be why they look smaller here too, but they do not seem to be.

"degustibus non disputandum est" that means everyone's taste is not a reason of dispute.

Actually, it doesn't mean "you shouldn't argue about matters of taste." It means that lawyers cannot argue a case (e.g. make a legal argument) to predict whether someone else might like something, or not.

If you think something is good or bad, and can give reasons for your opinion, then you should do so.

Apologies for tangent.
