RE: https://mastodon.social/@stroughtonsmith/116676088107469940 Some design languages make it really difficult, or outright impossible, to implement "good" versions of common UI patterns and needs. My biggest request for the 27 OSes: Tweak the Liquid Glass system design to let us create better UIs with it, rather than needing to opt out of it. This means: - No text is blurry, ever. Blurry text == bad design. - Navigation bars and toolbars don't need to blur the content behind them. - Sidebars don't need fake content mirrored and blurred underneath them.

    ⬆️ @marcoarment@mastodon.social >> - No text is blurry, ever. Blurry text == bad design. >> - Navigation bars and toolbars don't need to blur the content behind them. Both of these mean no translucency ever, right? If there's any translucency, text from behind must be blurred so as to not interfere with text in front. >> - Sidebars don't need fake content mirrored and blurred underneath them. We went from fake leather to fake glass. Everything is still fake, though.

    @marcoarment@mastodon.social I assume your second item means - Navigation bars and toolbars should hide the content behind them. Yes?

    @marcoarment@mastodon.social @stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social I don't mind stuff blurred under a sidebar if it's blurred so far that you can't even tell that there was text there. (As in, we're pulling the theme colours from the content and that's about it.) But if you can see there should be text, your brain wants to comprehend it!

  • @marcoarment@mastodon.social a s  totally blind very happy overcast user I was wondering why the Airplay button does not work. In the past, I would type the AirPlay and get a list of choices. now when I type the airplay button I do not get list of choices it just sits there.
