Read on Reddit this might have something to do with fonts you installed, can't recall exactly what it was about, but look in the macosbeta sub.
Got a tip for us?

Go into Font Book, and in advanced hit the Reset Fonts button. That should fix most of the issues with Safari/Webkit
So far, Beta 2 has been as stable as Beta 1 for myself, minus my work's VPN. We use Cisco Secure Client and for some reason, whenever I turn it on, my internet becomes unstable and I am unable to perform normal tasks.
Otherwise, I think the polish added throughout is a step in the right direction. The Safari bold lines under tabs is really distracting and more confusing than before, but I hope it's still considered for additional revamps.

The battery is horrible after upgrading to B2 - MBP M4 PRO 24GB
exactly .. example like this are legion. it's so evident that this level of transparency and widget blending is just detrimental to readability... how is apple not noticing such problems are manifesting everywhere throughout the whole UI, it's beyond me .. best guess they do no use their own products and people in charge have no clues what their ideas end up looking like in real life .. it's like wanting to use transparency, because "transparency is cool" but how do that translate in real life practical case ? they do not know they not see the problem .. which is further confirmation of their inexperienced clueless nature as UI designers.
( i'm guessing this is a new team of unseasonned people being given a set of instructions from executive and are plainly doing what they are told without caring about the result. this cannot be the same people that brought us past macos UI that was so glorious and now this ... being so crappy ....)
white widget with white background, on white window background ...
i thought i wouldn't take a genius at apple to figure it would be hard to see.
but apparently they don't see the problem.
there is so many problem like this throughout the OS everywhere ..
Yes, Microsoft abandoned Aero in Windows 8. What you might not recall is that Windows 8 was and still is absolute garbage. None of the UI decisions made in that version were good, none at all. Some were half-heartedly reversed and some weren't, but it played a big part in me never looking back after switching to Mac.

to explain myself,
i do not use windows at all, it is very rare for me. maybe once in a few years (plural) i launch a virtual machine to check what happened with the new version of the moment, but that's it. and i'm invariably disgusted by it
beside macos i use mainly linux. (which is also a PITA in its own right for its own stuffs, but at least there's freedom of choice and root is the real boss of the OS, unlike macos unfortunately..)
though, i appreciate the correction for my previous statement and additional details.
so that was win8, not vista. i stand corrected
thank you for that.
Aero was introduced in Windows Vista and removed in Windows 8. Windows 7 featured it as well, and that is probably the most successful version of Windows in modern history. It even outlasted 8.to explain myself,

Windows 7 and OS X Snow Leopard are both regarded as fast, stable, and pretty operating systems compared to what came after. That era was good, and taking lessons from what worked in the past and applying them today is a perfectly okay thing to do. I even encourage people to do this.
That being said, Liquid Glass seems a bit unfinished on MacOS in the early betas. I hope the release version will look different.

you've got a blue background with a blue theme selected in system settings appearance...
not happening for everyone (mail is fine here). perhaps start a thread, see if ppl here can help. yes, tho... it's early beta days
Yes. The blue background is the default wallpaper and the blue theme is the default one.
so one would expect that, as a minimum, the UI will be legible especially when no customisation was been applied. The design has to be contextual aware and work well in any situation.
sure. and it's beta 2. so (for now, at least), how you deal with this is up to you...
I've noticed MS Outlook is now crashing each time it's opened. No workaround found as yet. Anyone else?
Font Book -> Settings -> Advanced -> Reset Fonts
This fixed Safari, Mail, Raycast and Passwords for me. May fix Outlook @twynne ?

Something weird is under App Store settings, under the file tab in the menu bar, it shows Sandbox Account with my Apple ID next to it. I wonder if Apple forgot to turn off sandbox mode in the App Store for this build or some other kind of bug. Really hope this gets fixed, I would hate to lose all my purchased apps because of a bug. All the recipes are in my account history still, I double-checked that.
Cisco Secure Client is also half-broken for me on Beta 2 but was fine on the first beta. Specifically, it times out connecting to general Internet locations that are outside the scope of the split tunnel. Work-specific connections are fine with the VPN connected and general Internet access is okay when disconnected. I can have either work-specific access or general access, but not both at once. I'll file some feedback.
