It's so buggy.

I'm having issues with the smallest things, like double-tapping my pad to right-click, etc. It's so laggy. It's gorgeous to look at, but it should have been delayed 'til October at least. Also, am I the only one experiencing ui problems with dark mode enabled? For instance, Apple Music has this weird, dark horizontal banner above "search - home - radio". Can anyone confirm if theirs look like that, too?

Every window still has a top bar to be grabbed so that it can be dragged around. Although in light mode, the top bar has not a different color from the rest of the app.
 
It honestly gets worse the more you look. The dysfunctional UI is everywhere.

This window in the screenshot below is scrolled to the top, but the Wi-Fi dropdown selector has zero buffer space from the top of the window.

I honestly think they handed off the UI project to a manager/team who just didn't have the experience to do a proper job. It is a mess. This is Microsoft-level incompetence/carelessness. Once again I've got to ask, what the hell is happening at Apple? This is one more slight smell of rot creeping in.

Not sure if this is a bug or a setting I am missing, but I can't move my widget window, it's simply half on the screen with the other half below it. Its just fixed in that position :( I can scroll through them, but the window if firmly fixed.

It's supposed to work like that. You can make it taller though.

It seems all of the System Settings pages are like that, so it's at least consistent. :-\

I've already turned off transparency in accessibility just to try and make the UI less awful and aggravating. Maybe give that a try.

Still genuinely shocked we're talking in this way when it's an Apple OS.

I've just done the same. I had a finder window open, Safari and the system settings window open and all 3 showed a different shade of 'dark' mode. Crazy.

Every time I see a screenshot of System Preferences it makes me think the window is scrolled down a bit. What a weird and confusing design language.

What we are witnessing in your screenshot (as well as others) is totally unprofessional. I am convinced there are numerous talented individuals within Apple who are cringing at the sight of this. Obviously their voices have been silenced and the opinion of someone with outsized influence who cannot be fired carried the day. If you have ever worked in a large multi-national tech company, you have lived that dream …..

I am sure there were people who screamed « iceberg ahead! ». They were summarily ignored. At least the Titanic had a band (and they continued playing to the bitter end).

Even an entry-level Web developer would have such things as this rejected. Insanity. You’re left just scratching your head? At least we were able to have a good laugh at Schiller and « can’t innovate my ass ». If you are a long-time Apple fan - nothing funny about this.

It looks like Windows Vista IMO but worse.
1. Bring back LaunchPad
2. Why does everything flicker? (even iOS 26 flickers)
3.Who decided to make the Calculator so small?

Look at this unaligned mess in the Safari settings panel.

That cursor sits higher in some apps and doesn't fill the space evenly. Chatting with Apple Support it sit high at the top. Also, does anyones Dock flicker when you try to unhide it? 🤣
