- MacOS 26 has notorious inconsistency issues with window corners.
- Excessive roundness in UI design, like YouTube's current design, is criticized.
- Designers often follow big companies' UI trends, leading to widespread adoption of unpopular designs.
- Disabling MacOS system integrity (SIP) to edit dynamic libraries is a common but risky workaround.
- A proposed solution is to make all corners consistently rounded, not roundless.
- A custom tweak using dynamic libraries can enforce uniform corner radius across apps.
- Steps to implement the tweak include compiling, signing, and loading a custom dylib.
- A plist file ensures the tweak loads automatically at system startup.
