- Apple changed MacOS app icons in Tahoe to a 'Liquid Glass' style, making them blurry and less distinct.
- In Golden Gate betas, Apple improved icons by removing excessive Liquid Glass, making them sharper.
- Apple forced third-party app icons into a uniform squircle shape in Tahoe, reducing usability and creativity.
- Distinct icon shapes help users differentiate apps, especially for those with color vision deficiencies.
- Apple should allow varied icon shapes again to improve usability and restore artistic expression in MacOS.
