Golden Gate Window Corners

Now they should change the toolbar buttons back to squircles so they keep the “concentricity”. (Is that what it was called?) Now they make me nervous after being used to the old design.

"the Liquid Radius haxie exists"

Here we go again, Apple sherlocking poor indies! /s

If this is what happens when bad designers leave Apple, we need more people to quit or get fired.

Yeah, what we should definitely do is criticize them for bad design decisions and then mock them when they attempt to fix the bad design. That's definitely the way to go.

I skipped Tahoe, but I think the mouse pointer now works pretty well for resizing windows.

@Total, they aren’t first grade children. They understand and have earned the derision. I’m happy this is getting fixed but that doesn’t make it not insane that we’re all celebrating such a thing.

The bar is at the floor, and the designers/managers at apple have no one to blame but themselves. I'm glad they're working on fixing the issues they introduced though and hope that work continues.

Window corner f'ery was something many rightly laughed at when it comes to Linux. It's still a problem on Linux today (GTK vs KDE, GTK 3 vs 4 etc). And shockingly Apple went and broke this very basic thing. Nice that they claim to be fixing it but in 27 the "touchable" toolbar buttons are still hideous, Safari tabs are hideous, some of the new icons are still super ugly (FontBook), menu icons are not yet all gone, transparency in titlebars/tab bars leads to shockingly bad colors bleeds and many other issues persist. Only Sequoia/iStuff18 are the OS's you paid good money for, 26/27 is garbage that was forced on you because you had no choice and a corporate bully made you take it. I've been spending dozens of hours on Gnome, KDE and soon HyprLand investigating if that can be a new home as this old Apple one seems to be in danger of burning down. KDE is looking pretty good though the GUI app situation on Linux is still pretty slim and grim. HyprLand looks to be a great place to live for CLI apps and development work.

@ER

I've been watching KDE keenly, and the fact that Plasma has a simple control for universal corner radius really goes to show how bad Apple's UI designers are, and moreso, how thin-skinned they are, that they design everything so that their choices can't be changed.

First rule of design, it's a product the customer uses, not a temple to you for your portfolio.

It's always one step forward, two (or more) steps back with modern Apple.
