      I like it ):

      It is way prettier than the standard flat icon theme.

        Literally not a single lick of usability improved from glass theme. Lots of elements worse. I support a handful of relatives and none of them like the change and still find the theme confusing.

          That is a perfectly valid criticism of the glass theme, I just think it looks better than the old flat icon theme

        Hilarious that you got downvoted into the negative for daring to voice a dissenting opinion. Truly, Lemmy is a child of Reddit.

        Edit: Back above zero! I take it back, maybe I spoke too soon?

          I’m upvoting just to counterbalance the people downvoting because they dislike someone else’s subjective opinion.

        I do kind of wish that there was a way to bring back the old squishy gel 3D icons, though.

        The current thing is a bit of an awkward cross between them, and the flat colours that seem to be basically everywhere now.

          I miss the skeuomorphism of the really old versions. I loved that the game center looked like a poker table, for instance.

          They are cheaper and easier to make, which sucks as it will take a long time for companies to spend the money/time ):

      You mean wannabe Windows 7 Aero? I sure hope so, one of the best things about it is that you can turn it off

        You mean you can turn Windows 7 Aero off? I haven’t found a way to turn glass off on MacOS. There’s settings that seem like they would turn it off, but they don’t.

          You can turn glass off in macOS. On my MacBook running the latest 26.4.1 it’s in the System Settings under Accessibility -> Display -> Reduce transparency.

          Sadly, there are still a few apps that don’t respect Accessibility settings, like Tidal, but it should apply to everything that’s part of macOS.

            Yes, that’s what I did. The very OS doesn’t respect it. Not for nothing did they call it “reduce” and not “eliminate”. It looks like shit. I have refused upgrading my other Mac to the latest OS version due to this.

              That’s weird, it completely kills it for me… I’ll have a look later to see if I ticked any other boxes.

                Oh shit, I take that back, either they added that toggle after the initial release or I failed to find it at the time. I had it off, turned it on and I have a reasonable UI again! 🙏
