One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that skeuomorphism is back, baby! Updated icons for things like the iSuite apps are a step backwards, the old design was more coherent visually across the suite. Maybe we'll fully return to simulated woodgrain and rich Corinthian leather in macOS 12...
- slmjkdbtl 6y agoSkeuomorphism is always on macOS and it's just getting worse in Big Sur in my opinion. They forced every icon to be a rounded rectangle which comparing to previous versions with free contour, does not present the beauty of skeuomorphism. Also the shadow on the message and app store icon is just visually horrifying and irredeemable. Apple moved to flat design years ago, now they are starting to move to no design. As one stated in a comment above, the new visuals there's no cohesive design language.
