This is what we need again. Depth & color emphasized throughout this UI.
Apple just confirmed that Tahoe is the last version for Intel Macs.
I know it’s a small thing, but the window title not being centred looks really ugly to me. Same with the warning dialogue in post #37. It looks weird being left-justified rather than centred. Just me?
Forgot how “calm” Aqua looked like. The new design is just so busy for me, although showing a lot less information :/
Maybe it can be changed with "Reduce Transparency" in the accessibility features. My updated is jumping between about 2 minutes and 2 days remaining, at the moment 30 minutes.
it actually makes everything look worse if you enable it, i tried
Wow, I really object to Apple saying this (even if kind of obvious). It's a massive hint for developers to just go ahead and drop Intel now – "what's another year, anyway?" Same kind of BS Apple was doing in the move from PowerPC to Intel to enforce planned obsolescence of those PowerPC Macs. They ended up handicapped really quickly by both Apple and app developers not supporting them which likely resulted in a lot more stress and ewaste.
Can’t believe it hasn’t been asked yet, is “Macintosh Desktop Experience” still there when you click “About Finder”?
I actually think it’s good. It gives businesses a a year heads up to start planning your transition.. and customers also won’t be left in limbo wondering
I particularly don’t like that the elements look like they are floating, as I constantly expect them to fade away, especially the new sidebar that appears to be present in all native applications 😅
For the few who might be curious, LaunchPad is dead and gone in Tahoe. Instead, we have an 'Apps' app. Clicking this simply brings up the Applications tab of the new Spotlight.
Bout time LaunchPad was put out to pasture.

Never liked the Launchpad, from the day it made a debut in Lion. My condolences to those who depended on it, though.
I spent a while a couple of years ago arranging the icons how I wanted, and then never used it again 😁
I do have the Applications folder dragged over to my dock, though. That pops open the folder in icon view, which I like.
OK, im really NOT a fan of how the out-of-focus much lighter grey extends to cascading menus as well
For example open a finder window
Click the 3 dots button
Hover over "sort by" and go between the pop out menu and the first level menu
This seems to not just be on apple apps either, its doing the same in chrome and firefox and lots of others.

The biggest loss to me is Launchpad. While I open a LOT of apps using Cmd+Space, a lot of the time I can't remember an app's name, so I used Launchpad.
Now I have a postage-stamp Spotlight window, where I have to hit "Show More" to see anything. I can't make folders, so it's clogged up with Uninstall apps. By default it was even clogged up with my iPhone apps, which I had to also disable. What a mess.
Steve Jobs always had a philosophy that you should have no more than 3 clicks to do anything. Whoever works at Apple now needs to remember this, or quite frankly, get fired. This is a travesty.

Here's how the OS appears with 'Reduce Transparency' enabled. Some interface elements, like the Dock and Widgets, still have a touch of colour applied to them, rather than becoming flat grey as before. It's still rough and unfinished, as is to be expected.
