In WWDC, Apple made its new announcement Liquid glass design language, Which is coming in all its equipment including Mac. I am tampering with Macos Tahoe 26 Developer Beta on M4 MacBook Air for almost a day. So far, beauty changes range from slicks to slightly overright, but new spotlight search features are Nifty and useful.

The Macos 26 has new touch of entire glassy transparency, including docks, finders, widgets and built-in apps. It is more subtle than the iPhone, mostly because the very big screen of Mac makes real estate liquid glass elements more than accent. Whatever is considered a messI am not very fond of it yet, but perhaps it will grow on me, as the UI changes.

The dock now has a frost background that is more transcendent than the flattery design of Sequia. The blurred, frozen glass beauty also extends to the widget like the calendar and the weather, and the drop-down menu-although the latter has a lot of op variety. Pop-ups for volume and brightness now use this deformed glass look, although they have moved to the top-right corner of the screen rather than focused on the dock. Frankly, they are ugly, and I feel their newly horizontally strange and out of place.

Surprisingly, the menu bar at the top of the screen is now invisible, so it no longer mashes the notch cutout of the screen with a dark brown bar. At first I found it a little shocking, but I adjusted it quickly, like I first saw a pointed MacBook. It mostly became comfortable showing its boundaries with a bright wallpaper. (If you really hate it, you can enable “transparency” in the accessibility menu, bring back the filled menu bar and kill other transparent effects of Taho.) A cool thing enables the invisible menu bar. A new animation is a new animation: When you descend below the mission control, the three fingers come down to the mission control. Is. It thrives a kitschi, but it is one of some effects in Taho that tickles me.

Widgets now live on the desktop instead of the information center’s swipe-over, allowing you to populate your desktop with a lot of glanceble information such as iPad Home Screen as you choose. Open a finder window and you see more round design of Taho, with the sidebar now look like your own long, Oval-Ish Nested window. Dark mode and light modes show some differences here, with light mode, Finder Windows is much higher than its deep version, which makes me look more glassy.

Theme control The iOS 18 has been launched now in Macos. By opening the appearance menu you can replace the overall form (light, dark and auto) of the taho, highlight colors, and icons and widget styles. The correct (or incorrect) combination of these settings can dramatically change the look of Macos, from the minimum to the garish.

There are more exciting spotlight changes for power users that make their Mac very easy to operate by keyboard alone. Spotlight search now gives you a shortcut to find files, launch apps, take action and reach clipboard history. Calls the command and space calls the spotlight as always, but now if you hover over the search bar with the mouse, you are shown four icons for those new tasks, an easy keyboard shortcut is offered with each.

Now it is spotlighting: by pressing the command and either number 1, 2, 3, or 4 keys you can get quick access to apps, files, shortcuts and clipboard. Then, you can type whatever you are looking for or trying to do. Apps drawer can act as a mini classified launcher. Files up top suggestions and recurrence. The shortcut allows you to type the tasks that you want to do through your Mac apps. The clipboard is a reverse chronological history of the most recent goods you copy.

I really like the ability to set a custom quick key command. For example, I set “M” a quick key to a message, and “TM” to set the timer. Each of those tasks require typing parts of the prompt, such as the number of minutes in your timer or the material of a message and the recipient. But if you like to use a lot of hotkeys and navigate around an app with tabs and Alt Keys, then you are likely to feel right at home.

There were many readers Early to comment This apple is “Sherling” RecastRaycast is a much more adaptable and expander spotlight option. It can convert mathematics and unit, set a timer, it has its own appendable clipboard history, and A bunch moreAnd it also supports third-party extensions. While changes in Mcos Taho let the spotlight encroach on some things, which can recast, it is not quite expanded. At least, not yet. Recast is a power-user tool, and it can take some time and much development to win on those users.

I am using Taho Developer Beta for almost a day. There will be a lot to learn about Macos Tahoe because the developers continue to use it in their current beta form and distribute more updates. Public beta is not coming for some time next month, and it is possible that Apple will push some major changes and UI Twitics even then.
