I disagree I love the glass. The human eye was not designed to look at text or to look at text on top of solid color static backgrounds which don’t exist in nature. Our eye was designed to look at noise and filter moving noise. It is better to have a background that distinguishes itself based off of texture and movement rather than a sudden contrast of divergent flat colors. Yes flat design is logically more efficient I understand this but human evolution has evolved our bodies to be narrow and efficient within a niche. If we move outside of that niche things become inefficient even detrimental. Take for instance: eating. You’re not designed to eat the most calorie dense fatty foods even though high energy reserves seems like a good thing. Your body ended up evolving towards a niche: a narrow band of caloric intake. It’s the same thing with visual design. You go too extreme and too efficient with flat colors and flat design you are creating patterns your eye was not optimized for. Your eye was optimized for noise inefficiency and to find patterns and glass emulates this quite well. To be honest I just made up all the shit I said above. I somewhat believe it could be true but the ultimate reality is that it doesn’t matter that much. Your eye can handle flat design or Liquid Glass without any extra stress. It’s not really a big difference. Your eye can handle it and if you can’t you probably shouldn’t be driving and you should see an eye doctor. People are complaining about this because it’s different from what they are used to not because there’s an actual problem.

Your eye can handle it and if you can’t you probably shouldn’t be driving and you should see an eye doctor. You could have used the time to type up that comment on the basics of visual design, and saved us all some sanity. For hundreds of years, humans have been studying light, color, and shadows. All the way from the cave painters to great maters (da vinci) to modern UI/UX pioneers. There are absolutely things that do not work well (example: visual vibration -https://accessibility.psu.edu/color/brightcolors/ https://accessibility.psu.edu/color/brightcolors/) and there are combinations that work well. So no, it isnt your eye. And you dont need to see an eye doctor. The person/team/company that designed it fell short of the mark.

  >You could have used the time to type up that comment on the basics of visual design, and saved us all some sanity. For hundreds of years humans have got it wrong. The basics of visual design are made up qualitative guidelines with no solid metrics to back it up. Just a bunch of arbitrary rules with legit sounding words and rules to dress it up as a science. Take for example the primary colors. RYB. Completely ass wrong for hundreds of years. Our eyes achieve color ranges by mixing RGB. RYB is an arbitrary choice. You've been drinking the koolaid. > There are absolutely things that do not work well Did I say there wasn't? What are you going off about here? >So no, it isnt your eye. And you dont need to see an eye doctor. The person/team/company that designed it fell short of the mark. So you're saying Apple really fucked their entire company over with liquid glass? Really? Let's be real. People can't use their phones anymore because the GUI is so terrible? It's so bad everyone is going back to windows and android? Wake up man. It's a band wagon and you're getting on it; destination: Not reality.

Are you saying Apple alone is enlightened enough to know what's good and what's not? And every body else is winging it?

I'm saying everybody is winging it. Nobody knows what they are talking about. Including apple and you. The only people who know what they are talking about are the people saying that nobody knows what they are talking about.
