- Apple introduces Liquid Glass UI in macOS 26, featuring softer, shinier, glassier icons.
- Icon design changes include slightly more rounded rectangles and no elements extending beyond the icon rectangle.
- The update is one of the most dramatic visual overhauls in macOS history.
- A collection chronicling the evolution of macOS system icons is being shared on social media and will be updated over the summer.
- Recent updates include icons for System Preferences/Settings, Folders, Stickies, Notes, Messages, Calculator, Game Center, Dictionary, App Store, Maps, Podcasts, and Photo Booth.
