Music Control Moved.

[Lee_Mac]

I understand with Liquid Glass Apple have now decided to do the floating controls/menus etc. But the decision to move the Music player's control panel down to the bottom is just plain selfish move 'just' to show Liquid Glass off. We now have a big empty space where the old control was. Plus, why have they decided to add an extra click for the volume slider. Surely any chimp know's the sis form over function?

It's consistant with iOS and iPadOS.

Yep. I'm not sure what you mean about the big empty space (it seems like many or most of the app's main content views still utilize that space), but this is one of several cases where it seems the decision was to largely import the iOS app. (If you haven't opened the Contacts app since upgrading to Tahoe, then… well, brace yourself.)

Even the macOS Human Interface Guidelines emphasize controls shouldn't go at the bottom of a window. And that volume control has cost me many a click as well.

It is indeed which is sort of OK on a small screen. Totally lost on an ultra wide monitor on MacOS.

Not looked at the contacts app yet, I’ll make sure I’m seated when I do 🤓 They could at least left it at the top.
