I've been a Mac user for 10 years and ever since Yosemite was released it looks like there was a downfall in both icon and UI design. Now with Big Sur a deal breaker for me has been the redesign of the menu bar. There's so much wasted space, menu bar is too much transparent with less contrast and the widgets are completely useless. The whole thing looks like a bad attempt at standardizing macos with the rest of the ipad/iphone echo system.
- makecheck 6y agoI would just prefer a screen-size-dependent menu bar. It would be actually nice to have large menus on huge screens but they should waste little space on a small laptop. Oddly they “sort of” had this in very early scaling experiments, back in the days before Retina where Quartz Debug could scale to many sizes (1.5x, etc.). When those modes were enabled, the menu bar and menus had nicely scaled-up sizes and fonts. Not sure why they never enabled that.
