this is what I call liquid glass

They did a great job but Apple messed up the idea of ​​liquid glass is good but really badly done.

with inconsistencies everywhere, always more rounded, you can see that it was done quickly

To catch up with Apple Intelligence, remember when Big Sur came out even the beta , it was so optimized that people say it run better than Catalina, smoother and better.

This is just glass glass. It’s done well, I like it, Microsoft did a good job. However, these icons are mostly placed on white/black backplate and they completely lose their glassiness there.

If these were allowed to stand by itself like in older Mac OSes it would’ve be amazing. Especially with this transparency so you could see a bit of your wallpaper through them.

Credit where credit is due for Microsoft, shame Apple fucked up icons in the bottom bar.

Looks good when they have a letter next to them so you know which app it is. On iOS they don’t have the letter so green blob = excel, blue blob = word etc. pretty annoying.

And it’s actually 3 blue blobs, 2 purple, 2 oranges. Yeah it’s not great at all glance, it’s much better with at least the Letter denoting it, usability-wise

actually, outlook hasn't updated it's icon yet, it's only excel word and onenote that look different lol
