r/LiquidGlassDesign

This is my concept of iOS 28 Developer Beta 1 designed in Figma.

It features:

- System follows liquid glass accent color of user choice

- Liquid glass unified into more UI

- UI more polished

- and more

I hope apple makes this:D

Ty for looking.

This opinion might be a bit biased due to recently upgrading my iMac to Tahoe with OpenCore Legacy Patcher, but I do think that some aspects of Liquid Glass look better in macOS Tahoe than macOS Golden Gate, especially the icons, I'm not a huge fan of what they did with the app icons in Golden Gate, for me they have a more plastic look rather than a glass look, I especially don't like that kind of "cell-shading" the icons have for the lines.

The biggest offender in the app icons is Mr. Finder itself, I absolutely hate what they did with the Finder icon in Golden Gate, they removed almost all the effects that the Tahoe icon had and they changed to this plastic-looking, thick lines, light blue doppelgänger.

Aside from the icons, there isn't really much I can mention about Golden Gate, maybe that the tweaks made to the Liquid Glass effects made that the buttons in the system also had this plastic look to them.

Let me be clear (see what I did there?), I do think that macOS 27 in the grand scheme of things is superior to Tahoe in many aspects, I'm just saying that the core design language of the system, that being Liquid Glass, have a Involution in some aspects. Feel free to disagree with me and give your point of view in the comments, good night.

ik its techincally not liquid glass since im still on ios 18 but it seems like theyre implementing the semi-liquid glass ui like the one you’d find in instagram
