RE: https://mastodon.social/@tuomas_h/116397694769738857 100% agree. I *need* accessibility on for my general work, due to motion sensitivity issues. But Reduce Transparency (and, to a lesser extent, Reduce Motion) is now so flawed that my main work Mac is still on Sequoia. I don’t recall ever having had a main Mac lag so much. But also in those grabs, those absurd drop shadows that make the buttons the most visually prominent thing on the screen, along with the insanely massive window corners, are abysmal design.

I mean, I was irritated enough by rounded window corners when taking screenshots of emulators and having to paint back in ‘missing’ pixels. But in Sequoia, the windows rarely interrupted by work. In macOS 26, the corners are so ludicrously oversized that there is an impact on information provision and density, along with causing distraction in multi-window setups because there are loads of gaps. Plus it also makes the system look like My First Operating System.

@craiggrannell@mastodon.social 'Increased Contrast' definitely helps.
