It seems macOS icons are becoming less flat UI'y. I hope this means flat UI era is coming to an end.

  as far as toolbar icons, it looked like the opposite to me. They are getting some shadows back into launch icons, but everything else is going flatter.

  But the app icons are all like iOS now: rounded corners instead of each icon having a distinct shape. The new Finder icon seems especially bad.

    They talked about reducing "visual complexity" at some point in the video. Of course, if you make everything the same shape and the same color, it's visually much simpler. It's just more difficult to use ("design is how it works", anyone?) because you can't tell anything apart.

    They are probably trying to normalize them a bit so when you install iOS apps on your desktop they blend in.
