Just updated and I'm sure you all know how bad Apple Music UI is with Tahoe... What an embarrassment.View attachment 2605211
Not much care for us who wants to always have the scroll bars visible.

It’s like the designers haven’t even considered that is an option in macOS and are designing without it. Many examples of this in Tahoe and I saw even a MacRumors article about it the other day.
 
In addition to the Facebook drop down menu for comment listing options disappearing after 26.3, now the Safari tabs have started disappearing again if left open for 20 minutes or so.
Sorry you’re running into that bug, hopefully it’s fixed for you soon. I haven’t ever heard of that, even on the dev betas, so unfortunately, I don’t really have any recommendations for a fix other than maybe try a clean reinstall?

It is a bug Apple knew about and supposedly fixed in 26.3 and it did for a while, now it's back.
I am going to wait for the next update and hope for the best but I've never had issues like this with any Apple OS

wasn't aware of that. you might post on the 26.4 beta forum, see if it's resolved (i've never seen that)...

I’ve been on the developer betas the entire macOS 26 cycle, and I’ve never had that issue on any of the dev betas. 🤷🏼‍♂️
 
Yeah, and clearly that was marketing speech. There’s no such thing as the “perfect corner radius”… They decided on an “ideal” corner radius for then, the software design from then, and what they thought looked visually appealing then.
It's amazing how people want you to dislike something, just because a Section of the Customer Base doesn't like it, without giving you persuasive evidence or information to allow you to examine and change your mind if you see fit. Many others like it, enjoy the new Interface and Aesthetic, and realize that No previous OS was perfect.

It's truly amazing how some people (actually just a handful, always the same ones) have the ability to ignore the evidence (screenshots, videos, external articles with dozens of examples from various sources, testimonials from other users).

When you see certain things, you should reflect on them. Of course, macOS has never been perfect, but I have never seen so much evidence (not opinions) indicating that there has been no progress, but rather the opposite.

I asked for examples of how Tahoe has improved the workflow of those who defend it tooth and nail... I have yet to see any. The best I've read was ‘I like it’ (okay), ‘nothing has changed for me’, ‘I haven't had any problems’ (good for you, not everyone has been so fortunate).

Some have gone so far as to say that it will improve, which is plausible and desirable (in fact, 26.3 and 26.4 are moving in the right direction). But ‘it will improve’ does not erase the problems that others have experienced (and they have no reason to lie on a specialized forum).

It's one thing to participate in a discussion and another to be blind, mute (not really), and deaf. For those who are more familiar with other languages, I believe there are three emojis that illustrate the concept.

If you like LG... good for you, but the title of the discussion is clear, so I wouldn't exactly expect a cheering crowd.

Evidence? 😂. Oh, you mean “evidence” like random blog posts screeding and whining about stuff…? That isn’t “evidence”. It’s opinion and nothing more. People are complaining about things like window corner radius. Nobody denies the corner radius of app windows is different, just many of us like the new corner radius. It looks nicer. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Again, it is opinion, not “evidence”… Some people try to claim Liquid Glass is “illegible”, when it’s easy to read for many others myself included. Such kinds of claims are subjective opinion and not evidence of anything… Other things that have been tossed around here are either minor bugs that were in early developer betas that were already fixed months ago before public release, or people intentionally trying to make stuff look bad to complain.

And trying to claim there’s been “no progress”? So the major improvements to Spotlight search aren’t progress? All the other great new features in Tahoe? And macOS is finally becoming more modernized and congruent with Apple’s other platforms. There are tons of improvements in Tahoe. Lots of progress.

Because you’ve ignored the examples others like myself have provided. I went into quite a bit of detail about many different new changes that I’ve found beneficial to my productivity. Of course, it also doesn’t help that whenever anyone tries to discuss the ways Tahoe has improved their workflows, they get dog-piled on by the naysayers. Even when people create their own threads just to discuss the benefits of the new design for productivity…

The “problems they’ve experienced” are predominantly bugs. And those are either usually due to something with the device, or because they never actually tried a more recent version that fixed said bugs… Bugs, unfortunately, are always a thing. They can turn up in any version. People complained about bugs, and shared the “problems they experienced” for Snow Leopard… Does that mean that Snow Leopard was bad quality, etc., because some encountered bugs on it?

Yeah, so if we disagree with claims being made, that equals we’re being “blind, mute, and deaf”… 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️. Got it… 😂🤦🏼‍♂️. Well, I most certainly am not any of those things. And a friendly reminder, I would try to be me more respectful to other commenters… 🤷🏼‍♂️
If you like LG... good for you, but the title of the discussion is clear, so I wouldn't exactly expect a cheering crowd.
The titles never stop the naysayers from attempting to hijack any positive discussion here about the new design and Tahoe. I don’t expect a “cheering crowd”, I’ve gotten used to the naysayers pouncing in every thread at this point. I’m still not afraid to share my opinion and push back on bad arguments… 🤷🏼‍♂️

Not macOS (iOS 26.3) but still – screenshot from yesterday in Safari. The second screenshot is how it looked after enabling ”reduce transparency” – didn’t help much:

If that’s not objectively problematic illegibility, I don’t now what is…

No such visibility issues in either light or dark mode without reduce transparency enabled on my end. iOS 26.3.1 installed on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Looks like you must be encountering a bug. Because that clearly is not normal intended behavior of the system.

And reduce transparency creates a solid color band behind the buttons…

So this is very obviously a bug you’re encountering and not a problem with the design…

Try dark mode…
 
Regular dark mode:

Here’s dark mode with reduced transparency enabled:

I mean, I know visibility is dependent on what's underneath the GUI (and that is the problem…).

Here it's OK:

1771617210425.jpeg


But then I scroll up where two bright website thumbnails are behind the GUI:

But OK, if these really are just bugs on my phone, then good. I wonder how I fix it… And I wonder why I have them in the first place.

Yeah, as you can see in my screenshots, I have it over two white tabs and it’s still good contrast. And the plus symbol on the left is supposed to show as black. Plus symbol in both is far more muted and less distinct. And you have reduced transparency enabled? Because that should add a solid color background behind the buttons, so if that is enabled, it clearly isn’t working there. Which is more evidence it’s a bug.

As to how to fix them, there’s several steps for troubleshooting. Sometimes a bug will go away just by turning the phone off and turning it back on again, or completely closing out the app. In the case of Safari, it may be a good idea to close out all the tabs and then close it and reopen it. But if it’s persistent, you may have to do a clean install on it. You can probably find some good guides for some things to try here in the forum in the bug fixes and troubleshooting threads. But yeah, I didn’t even encounter issues like that on the early developer betas, so clearly seems something is wrong with the install possibly. Hopefully you can get it fixed. 👍🏻

Maybe because there's lots of different areas of black and white it struggles to choose the best 'setting'? I don't know how it all works technically but if that's the case it's a flawed concept before you even start styling it. Hopefully though all these inconsistencies are just bugs that can be ironed out. It looks a lot better on iOS than MacOS but I'm still not a fan.

Closing all tabs and start anew actually seems to have fixed this for me, even if the ”Private” text could be more legible at least the + in the white circle is clear now:

But I did just now notice another place where arrows merge too much with the background:

Several adjustments for Apple to do, still….

Those arrows are grayed out because there aren’t multiple fields to move between. If there were multiple text fields, they would be white just like the checkmark, and so would be more visible. 👍🏻
