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.

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

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.

this is how my traffic lights look everywhere lmao

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

"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.
 
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.
