Said it before and I’ll say it again: Tahoe looks blurry. Almost sent me to the eye doctor kind of blurry.
Ditching the frosted glass look for clear glass icons is definitely the way to go. Everything looks super vibrant, crisp, detailed, and contrasty
I see more contrast in the icons which gives me hope that Apple has rediscovered a through line of accessible design for their OSes. In other words, they got rid of their bad Dye job.
They look so much better and so much worse at the same time—I am the ultimate form of conflicted
The difference is very subtle, but I definitely see improvement there.
The Golden Gate ones are less appealing, lack a soul. I have a feeling that Apple is really gonna continue to fail in this department. I’m not sure if it’s because they refused to hire artists, or if they are incapable of saying no.
marked improvement.
The article on your site has two “Stocks” headings. Not sure if that is a typo?
Yay for Rounded Finder! But the true question is: have they fixed the funky physics of the Color Picker utility?
I definitely like the Golden Gate ones more.
I like the 27/Golden Gate icons.
Seems flatter and I like it better.
Magnificent
Contrast! It’s a thing!
