OS Tahoe

[loby]

I have hit Apple´s Character Limit so i Post it here again:

Dear Apple Design Team,

After 40 years as a Mac user, macOS Tahoe is the first update I refuse to install. I'm staying on Sequoia.

The design decisions in Tahoe are baffling. The excessively large corner radii on app windows make the title bars unnecessarily tall and bulky. Combined with the new bordered outlines around icon buttons, the interface looks bloated and childish.

These thick borders around what were perfectly recognizable icons add nothing but visual clutter and wasted space. On my 13-inch MacBook Air M2, this padding is particularly egregious. Even on my 34-inch display, I resent losing screen real estate to these oversized UI elements.

Every line of display matters when you're working. The bulky window frames and padded toolbars in Tahoe sacrifice functionality for a design aesthetic that feels more appropriate for a children's learning app than a professional operating system.

All my Macs will remain on Sequoia (15.7) indefinitely until Apple either:

• Offers a compact/professional UI mode
• Reduces the excessive corner radii and padding
• Removes the unnecessary borders around icon buttons

Please give users the option to choose efficient, professional interface density over this wasteful design.

I heard Tim is now in-charge of design..

I can just see the conversation in the Apple Office:

Tim: What's happening? Why all of the complains. I thought you said this is the greatest and users are going to like it? (Tim never saw anything before they put it out. He was too busy hugging stuff animals)

Marketing: Well, I thought we would go after the next generation kids with the economy Mac to get into schools again.

Tim: Ok, I'll take over design....


Yeah, that will fix it Tim...

I trusted Apple and installed Tahoe without doing my homework. Big mistake. Tahoe is really ugly. My bad.

I really think they made the worst decision with this move. (WHY)
