Make macOS consistently bad unironically
- post-it 8mo agoI can't say I've had any issues with the corners, or noticed any difference after upgrading to macOS 26. But this is neat.
- deleted 8mo ago[deleted]
- rafram 8mo agoThis isn’t a part of macOS 26 that bothers me, honestly. I don’t spend a lot of time stacking windows and measuring their corners.
- dilap 8mo agoi use a an auto-layout tool, so having windows stacked on top of each other is super-common for me, and the fact that they all peak thru each other (like the screenshot in the blog) looking absolutely terrible drives me crazy
- JellyPlan 8mo agoI don't either, the only thing that annoys me is it's much harder to resize windows, so the usability is worse
- mabedan 8mo agoTo me it's a little like the situation with charging the Mighty Mouse. It's become a meme to post a picture of it on its side being charged, but if you own one it doesn't really matter, as you charge it once a month for 15 minutes while you're at lunch. There are things which definitely do bother me like the Liquid Glass, but the window corners really don't bother me. And I'm into design and constantly inspect parts of ui with Digital Color Meter app.
- yborg 8mo agoYou have a truly Magic Mouse if yours charges in 15 minutes. In my experience, it is hours to charge from zero, which until I put an always-running monitor in the menu bar for the mouse battery level is what you are guaranteed to have since there is no other indicator of mouse battery level. I used to roll my eyes at the complaints until I actually had one of these, and it is appallingly bad engineering. Especially since the previous design, which was functionally identical just needed a 10 second battery swap.
- kibwen 8mo agoIn other words, MacOS is fine as long as you're undiscerning and not at all detail-oriented. Imagine telling Steve Jobs that this was the prevailing attitude needed to make using a Mac bearable.
- rafram 8mo agoThese inconsistent corner radii are actually intentional, FWIW - the radius depends on the window’s function (main, utility, etc.). I don’t think it looks great, but there’s no lack of attention to detail.
- hbn 8mo agoI'm not sure where you got that idea. The inconsistency is from a few years ago when they pushed for rounding the windows more than they have been for years, and then a further rounding in Tahoe, but not all developers following suit. All of Apple's own apps use the latest iPad/Fisher Price-esque border radius, but most third party apps are not. I can compare Safari to System Settings and they have the same new rounding. It's nothing to do with utility vs "main" (whatever that is)
- rafram 8mo agoFrom Apple's own documentation: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/310/ https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/310/ (Search for "radius" in the transcript.)
- hbn 8mo agoWell I'll admit I had no idea it was intentional but it doesn't make me any less horrified that it is
- rc_kas 8mo agoI truly hate it, so so much. Mentally I'm already planning out what OS I'm going to migrate to.
- LtWorf 8mo agoTry both gnome and kde if you come on linux, and remember that on kde you can customize anything you don't like.
- pram 8mo agoI'm not a fan of the look in Tahoe (especially Apple Music wtf happened there) but most of it I can totally ignore, and don't even notice anymore. Except for the tabs. I have Sequoia and Tahoe machines, and the tabs in Tahoe are so unbelievably bad in comparison. Like this ugly pill shape. I rarely hear this get brought up but they're astonishingly ugly, worse than the previous design in every way.
- hbn 8mo agoYou're not alone, I was calling out how ugly Safari is in Tahoe a few weeks ago! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47282085#47310011 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47282085#47310011 Probably my least favorite redesign in the whole update. Why is everything an oval? It's just bizarre.
- skrrtww 8mo agoI'm not sure if these selectors are hit in SwiftUI or not.
- gnarlouse 8mo agoOne of my claude code projects was going to be "theghostofsteve", a social media platform where people post things they love and hate about appleOS things. Likes/Dislikes would be "genius/it's shit". And in all likelihood, the platform would surface that most users think "it's shit." The platform would aggregate by major/minor version, and you could see in totality whether the current version of macOS/iOS would make Steve proud of miserable. Ultimately I decided against it, for defamation/cease-and-desist reasons, and not wanting to find out. But it needs to exist.
- ykl 8mo agoWouldn’t “insanely great”/“it’s shit” be more Steve than “genius”/“it’s shit”?
- gnarlouse 8mo agoSure, you could use whatever binarism you want
- Joel_Mckay 8mo agoSteve Jobs and Steve Wozniak were a team, and Jobs would regularly tell people their work was "shit" if it didn't make sense. Apple traditionally burned out its talent, and is no longer structured to follow Jobs original vision. There is a lot of goodwill with the users, but just like Sony/HP/IBM/Microsoft/Sun it can't last forever. The process-people entrench themselves, and ruin everything... just as Jobs predicted. =3
- gnarlouse 8mo agoWhat does Woz have to do with it
- Joel_Mckay 8mo agoJobs often set project goals well beyond current technology, and the people around him were responsible for actually getting product out the door. Naively asserting stuff is "Shit" and firing people that disagree with you on superficial deliverables is not a difficult role. However, teams pushing new technology out to the general public is challenging, and even Apple gambled on the wrong product at times. Jobs was right about a lot of marketing trends, but also was a controversial character. I would recommend watching the classic interview just prior to his return to Apple, as it aged well... =3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRZAJY23xio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRZAJY23xio
- dcrazy 8mo agoFYI, the article incorrectly claims that SIP just controls write access to /. It does way more than that.
- lapcat 8mo agoI don't see where it says that. Can you provide a direct quote?
- dcrazy 8mo agoFootnote 2.
- lapcat 8mo agoThe footnote 2 link doesn't actually work for me, for whatever reason. What does it say?
- rzzzt 8mo ago"Arguable, since you just loose security over /root, which is not a big deal if someone already gained access to your machine, at least for me." It doesn't render for me either, but is in the HTML at path... .../html/body/div/div/main/div[3]/div[6]/div/div[2]/div/p Edit: SIP has a series of control bits for a diverse set of protections. You can see what these control (and which bits "csrutil disable" toggles) in this include file: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu/blob/f6217f891ac0bb64f3d375211650a4c1ff8ca1ea/bsd/sys/csr.h#L41-L55 https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu/blob/f6217f89...
- _jab 8mo agoBetween the rounded corners that don't reach the edges of the viewport, and the behavior when opening a new app for the first time, it feels like Mac's UI is optimized around the assumption most users won't expand windows to fill the whole screen, but rather leave them half-sized somewhere in the middle. Does anyone actually do this? Especially for heavy-duty applications like my web browser and IDE, this has always felt like a bizarre assumption to me.
- doubled112 8mo agoProbably not the norm, but I use a large 4K monitor and no scaling. I haven’t maximized a window in years. They look ridiculous like that. Especially web pages with their max width set so the content is 1/4 the screen and 3/4 whitespace.
- amelius 8mo agoWithout scaling, those rounded corners look not so rounded.
- jiehong 8mo agointeresting! But, the default scaling makes them look bigger.
- doubled112 8mo agoComputers were better with square corners anyway.
- alex_c 8mo agoI use a 40” 4K screen. If I ever accidentally full screen a window, and it’s not in night mode, I am instantly blinded by a wall of mostly white empty background!
- Wowfunhappy 8mo agoDo you have the brightness on your monitor set really high or something? I frequently use macOS on a projector, it doesn't quite fill my wall floor to ceiling but it comes close. I don't use full screen often, but I do it occasionally as a focusing strategy, and it's fine.
- throwaway27448 8mo ago[flagged]
- thesuitonym 8mo agoAs tumblr user ommanyte said, "how dull for you to live your life without any hills to die on, you, on your vast flat barren plains of compromise, acceptance, and accommodation, while I reign supreme over the lush, rolling highlands of stupid shit I have irrationally chosen to stake my entire identity on"
- tines 8mo agoHe didn't say that he had no hills to die on, just that rounded window corners isn't one of them.
- throwaway27448 8mo agoNow this is poetry. I chose keybindings, but I respect the domain of window manager aesthetics.
- lucasay 8mo agoThe pill tabs are what get me too. I can ignore most visual changes after a while, but those somehow manage to feel both more distracting and less informative at the same time.
- amarant 8mo agoI must say that all this fuzz about the corners actually reflects rather well on macos. If the biggest flaw of a OS is the border radius of its windows, you've got yourself a pretty decent OS! It's not gonna make me leave my darling Linux, ofc, but i think this whole debacle can only be interpreted as praise. On second thought, it might also be considered a mediation on people's tendency to bike-shed.
- intrasight 8mo agoI disagree as it shows a fundamental flaw in terms of separation of concerns that's probably manifest throughout the operating system. Or to stay it another way, if we see shit like this then we know the whole thing is a hack.
- amarant 8mo agoHmm, that's a good point actually! Hadn't considered that!
- stingraycharles 8mo agoIt’s like the famous artist putting a clause in a contract that they wanted bowls of M&Ms with the blue ones removed. Not because they necessarily cared, but because it functions as an easy-to-verify proxy for whether the venue actually read the contract.
- scelerat 8mo agoThe artist was the band Van Halen; the forbidden color was brown https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/brown-out/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/brown-out/
- brailsafe 8mo agoEh, it might be or it might not, why is that a valid indication that everything else is wack? There certainly are other things that are bad, maybe many, evidently, but I don't think the corner problem is a fair indicator of that exactly. Numerous things can be discretely bad and poorly directed without there being some ebola virus of bad throughout
- nostromo 8mo agoClearing notifications on macOS Tahoe is ridiculously tedious. The "Liquid Glass" button is slow to respond, the notifications hang for a bit before being cleared, and then sometimes you have to jiggle the cursor to clear the next one. It's absurdly frustrating. And the updates to Music (formerly iTunes) are so bad the entire team should be dressed down, Steve Jobs style.
- batmanthehorse 8mo agoThe notification buttons have always felt a little squishy and unresponsive since they were added. They’re terrible.
- ymolodtsov 8mo agoI think these buttons weren't too responsive for about three major MacOS versions
- sooheon 8mo agoAlso went from one click to two clicks
- sampullman 8mo agoAgreed, I've blocked all notifications for years. Maybe it got worse recently, but I thought they were annoying since at least Big Sur.
- alexalx666 8mo agoThe "Liquid Glass" button slowness on macOS is tolerable (coz I can really point at the center of a button with the mouse pointer) compared to the same problem on iOS 26. I have to literally tap several times on core system UI elements like navigation bar left and right buttons for the touches to register, this is Bad.
- jasonhemann 8mo agoI love that there are people who are observant enough to notice these kinds of things, a vanguard for those of us who are blithely unaware and protected due to their vigilance.
- tencentshill 8mo agoApple used to know this. You don't notice these things, but your subconscious does. You start to trust it less when things get inconsistent and don't "just work".
- amelius 8mo agoNever trust people who play mind tricks like this.
- cardanome 8mo agoI wish I were less observant. My neurodivergency makes me feel actual distress over those corners. I am not being dramatic. It sucks.
- hmokiguess 8mo agoI use this https://github.com/FelixKratz/JankyBorders https://github.com/FelixKratz/JankyBorders to try and have a consistent feel to it, but I wish I could make it less rounded
- streetfighter64 8mo ago> disabling MacOS system integrity [protection], which results in making them possibly vulnerable Not really, if you have malware that has root access on your system I think you're already pretty screwed, especially considering that you don't even need root to read all your saved passwords and personal files https://xkcd.com/1200/ https://xkcd.com/1200/
- deleted 8mo ago[deleted]
- dmix 8mo agoI've been using Tahoe since the beta and the borders haven't bothered me once. I get the UI consistency thing but it's okay to transition to new UI things gradually than making radical changes all at once. If this is still an issue 2yrs from now it will be more of a concern about their commitment.
- Octoth0rpe 8mo agoWith only a little sense of self aware irony, one thing I hate about so much dialog these days is how vehement opinions are. I don't particularly like the rounded corners, and think it's a regression. It's also... fine. It's not the difference between usable and entirely unusable. And I see this kind of attitude all over the place now. A slight change, some slightly non-ideal behavior and all of a sudden a product is THE WORST THING EVER. We will be ok with inconsistently rounded windows. I think people need to be a bit more tolerant of design decisions that are opinionated, and likely worse but also not breaking. Ads in a start menu can die in a fire though.
- bigyabai 8mo agoI feel the opposite. macOS has had excellent UI in the past, and the rationale was usually that Apple took designer feedback seriously. Designers told Apple that advertisements in the notification menu was a no-no, they warned about layering text on low-contrast glass effects. They stopped OSX' UI from becoming visually bloated and low-density like the eventual Big Sur+ design language. We only get these kinds of issues when the chain of communication is cut: https://noheger.at/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/scrambled-eggs.mov https://noheger.at/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/scrambled... https://noheger.at/blog/2026/01/11/the-struggle-of-resizing-windows-on-macos-tahoe/ https://noheger.at/blog/2026/01/11/the-struggle-of-resizing-... If you want ads in Spotlight or Launchpad, telling people to tolerate "opinionated, and likely worse but also not breaking" features is exactly how you get it. It's how Windows got there.
- haunter 8mo agoI usually use Linux and Windows (pretty much split 50/50) and tbh this is why I never could switch to Mac full time even though I've have had and still have several Macs at home. The full screen beahavior is weird. Is the dock should overlay every single window all the time? If not then why is the dock not hidden by default? If yes then full screen is actually "maximum size app window without overlaying the dock"? What's even the point of the dock actually? The other one is the open window =/= running app behavior. Wait 2 hours later this app is still running in the background even though I've closed all windows?
- gonzalohm 8mo agoWhat about the minimize and maximize buttons being swapped without any way to customize it. That one drives me crazy.
- brailsafe 8mo agoWhat do you mean swapped?
- gonzalohm 8mo agoThat usually, maximize is next to the close button and all buttons are usually on the right side of the window bar
- brailsafe 8mo agoOh that's just how it is on Windows though. Seems like on mac the minimize button provides a buffer between maximize and close. I'd rather accidentally minimize if I'm trying to maximize than close the window
- LtWorf 8mo agoCome to kde, you can customise everything

- zackmorris 8mo agoNot to mention that WindowServer seems to take 100+% cpu since the upgrade. Also I can't paste filenames in the save file dialog in some apps. And the URL field in Safari is just weird. My computer was running so slowly that I had to minimize transparency in system preferences somewhere. I think I also turned off opening every app in its own space. And I hid the icons on the Desktop in Finder settings somehow, which helped a lot. There are countless other little tweaks that are worth investigating. I also highly recommend App Tamer (no affiliation). It lets you jail background apps at 10% cpu or whatever. It won't help with WindowServer or kernel_task (which also often runs at 100+% cpu), but it's something. I can't help but feel that there's nobody at the wheel at Apple anymore. When I have to wait multiple seconds to open a window, to switch between apps, to go to my Applications folder, then something is terribly wrong. Computers have been running thousands of times slower than they should be for decades, but now it's reaching the point where daily work is becoming difficult. I'm cautiously optimistic that AI will let us build full operating systems using other OSs as working examples. Then we can finally boot up with better alternatives that force Apple/Microsoft/Google to try again. I could see Finder or File Explorer alternatives replacing the native ones.
- AceJohnny2 8mo ago> Not to mention that WindowServer seems to take 100+% cpu since the upgrade That's because some app is spamming window updates. It's been an ongoing problem for many releases. AFAICT, WindowServer 100% CPU is a symptom, not a cause.
- sunnyps 8mo agoBut apps shouldn't be able to hammer WindowServer in the first place. If your app is misbehaving, your app should hang, not the OS window compositor! FWIU there's really no backpressure mechanism for apps delegating compositing (via CoreAnimation / CALayers) to WindowServer which is the real problem IMO.
- steve1977 8mo agoAnd I could imagine SwiftUI only makes this worse, because it's quite easy to trigger tons of unnecessary redraws.
- diego_moita 8mo agoWindows gets a lot of (deserved) bad rap for bloatware but MacOS is just a little less bad. "Features" that we can't uninstall (e.g.: Siri, Apple Music), arbitrary changes in the UI, ... True, the "blessing" of forced online accounts, telemetry and advertisement didn't arrive to MacOS, yet. But, I wonder how long it will take us to get there.
- gib444 8mo agoIn window management, anything other than i3 is an unequivocal downgrade. Rounded corners are just...bizarre. Just because the laptop casing is physically rounded !? (Yet the menubar squares it off off at the top, and the bezel squares it off on the bottom...)
- varispeed 8mo agoI've been running Sonoma and it's going to stay that way for foreseeable future.

- travisgriggs 8mo agoMac OS has become what would happen if Harley Davidson merged with Volvo Truck and some high up said that to "reduce costs" and "homogenize the brand", the design groups needed to be merged and put forward a unified design. If I was less lazy, I'd have a !AI thing whip me up a mashup drawing.
- alzar 8mo agogreat catch on the corner inconsistency. hadnt noticed until reading this now i cant unsee it. this is actually one of the reasons i ended up going all in on a tiling wm (aerospace). once youre tiling, windows are edge to edge so the corner radius thing mostly disappears. the trade off is giving up floating windows, the DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES approach is clever though. making everything consistently rounded is way more pragmatic than fighting apples design decisions or disabling SIP.
- bmiekre 8mo agoY’all are wild…
- zeroq 8mo agoReminds me of Adobe Gripes (https://www.tumblr.com/adobegripes https://www.tumblr.com/adobegripes). When Adobe suite was de facto standard for designing and coding interfaces (you know, Flash) their own software was so immensely bad that there was enough material for a guy to make fun of them on a daily basis for a good couple of years.
- ddtaylor 8mo agoI have never been happier to be a long time Linux user. Our systems are working significantly better than ever before and I have personally converted more people to Linux in the last year than the 15 years before that.
- noisy_boy 8mo agoParticularly KDE. They have had some ups and downs but finally they have built a great foundation with Plasma and Plasma dark mode with Breeze is such a great balance of flexibility and fairly consistent look and feel. I stuck around with Gnome for too long in the name of simplicity but once you appreciate that Plasma gets out of your way once things are exactly how you want it, I have come to appreciate not having to install extensions for everyday "normal" things a lot more.
- _kidlike 8mo agoPlasma has been a bit buggy since v6 :( they tried to do something with remembering "how you left things" between sessions, and even when disabled things are still weird... Also some power management related hooks are not working as well as before. Like if you put the computer to sleep at night, and wake it up in the morning, the automatic dark-to-light theme switch doesn't trigger. at least not always. Still the best system to work with though!
- zarzavat 8mo agoPeople obsess about SIP but just remember that SIP does nothing to prevent the most common type of malware (ransomware). If you use SIP and use package managers (npm, cargo, pip, etc) outside of a VM you are substantially more vulnerable to attack than someone who doesn't use SIP and doesn't use package managers. So if you want to fix your corners, you can do it guilt-free by adopting some better security practices around the malware delivery systems / package managers that you have installed on your computer.
- nomel 8mo agoSure, if you run software from strangers on the internet, while explicitly giving them access to your systems, bad things can happen. But SIP is definitely a net good that makes many things directly impossible. Do you have a system in mind that prevents the user from doing this?
- bigyabai 8mo ago> Do you have a system in mind that prevents the user from doing this? Sure, macOS could adopt an iPad-style security system that refuses to run all software outside the App Store. It works on iPhone and iPad just fine, all the prosumers love it. It's not like native darwin triples are a popular compilation target. There wouldn't be any vast tragedy if the macOS shellutil authors were told to use zsh in a VM instead, it would separate the parts of macOS that Apple cares about from the parts they don't seriously support. WSL and Crostini achieves this on vastly weaker hardware with great results.
- tgv 8mo agomacOS does precisely that out of the box, doesn't it? You have to change some settings to run other software. I've got it set to: allow notarized, warn for internet downloads (even if notarized), everything else after explicit permission.
- DaiPlusPlus 8mo agoThe NodeJS ARM executable can be signed by Apple; but that has no bearing on the JS code in NPM packages you’d be running. Native code-signing only protects native entrypoints.
- 7jjjjjjj 8mo agoI hate rounded corners. I use stylus to apply "*{border-radius: 0 !important;}" to a bunch of sites, including YouTube.
- technical_sway 8mo agoI'm sure they'll try to market this as a feature so you can see how many windows you have open
- g3dar 8mo ago[flagged]
- stackghost 8mo agoI feel like the only dude on the planet who uses fullscreen workspaces on Mac. The number of times I have noticed the corner of my windows is precisely zero because each important application gets its own workspace, so the window frame doesn't get rendered. Sometimes I'll tile two windows side by side on my external monitor but even then this is a complete non issue for me. Are you guys just running everything on the one desktop workspace in windowed mode? That seems like madness.
- fingerlocks 8mo agoI asked this same question years ago in one of those threads that was all windows people complaining about cmd+tab. No responses. That means there are exactly two of us.

- DeathArrow 8mo agoAt some point in time, Apple used nice software to be able to sell expensive but mediocre hardware. Now they sell expensive but nice hardware and they have mediocre software. It seems you can only choose one out of three, nice hardware, nice software, good price. Apple is always choosing high price, and they either gave customers nice hardware or nice software, but not both.

- duskdozer 8mo ago>The reason why you need to disable SIP, is that to edit the dynamic libraries that system apps like Safari (which has crazy bad corners) use, you need to edit system libraries that exist the root.
- romanovcode 8mo agoThis was one of the first things I noticed after upgrade and was confused. I had an understanding that people in Apple UX are extremely meticulous when it comes to every single little tiny detail. I guess those times are over.
- leptons 8mo agoThey still obsess about it but they seem to be idiots, and always have been. Nobody has ever been able to explain reasonably why "about this software" is the first thing on the first menu of every MacOS program - it isn't useful exept maybe once a year. It's a ridiculous UX choice, always has been. Don't get me started on Finder.

- imranstrive7 8mo agoI tried something similar while building my tool site — biggest issue was SEO indexing. Fixed it by improving internal linking instead of relying on sitemap.
- hackrmn 8mo agoFor all his infamy, Jobs held Apple together in large part through his uncompromising perfectionism and attention to the kind of details that have since been demoted to "we'll fix it in the next version" or the equivalent of "# temporary". Every company is a bit of an ant-farm, but this one either has no single queen to lay down the law, or the queen is "trying things out" :P Jobs used to laugh at Microsoft for all manner of inconsistencies in behaviour and user experience with Windows, but now Apple is contending with the same problem, in part due to exposure as macOS has never been so popular and prevalent, and now there are ever growing amount of eyes calling them out for those inconsistencies that have been appearing more and more frequently without Jobs' leadership style.
- _the_inflator 8mo agoI see you point, but I think that Jobs not per se held Apple together. This is Tim Cook doing as well and arguably on a way larger scale. The one thing that distinguished Jobs from the rest ever since is the fact, that he was Apple's greatest fan boy. If you have a look at the Itunes introduction, Jobs sits there and for around 2 hours showcases every feature and function. He was so into the product, that this keynote is for me the most nerdy ever conducted by him. The others as well always show him being the company's No 1 fan and host of every feature there is. Imagine to have a boss like this. He set the standard for product development in every regard. And this is what slipped. Consistency is lacking and according to biographies about Cook, he has a very huge focus on him as a person. This is always wrong. It is about the product, nothing else. There will never be a Jobs again. And it is getting worse from here: the old guard is mostly gone. Even the myth of Steve Jobs is nothing Gen Z cares about. We live in the Post-Jobs phase and Cook seems to be overshadowing Jobs, as sad as this is. All innovations except the headphones date back to Jobs. All the scale that Apple reached to Cook. I bet Jobs would rather have a way smaller scale with great products. This luxury lifestyle is nothing Jobs liked. Sad, but true.

- Myrmornis 8mo agoThe rounded corners are nothing compared to the notch camera making part of the top of my applications invisible.
- jtesp 8mo agohow are people not seeing what is going on? they are inching the unified ui towards visionOS & spatial computing. and so corners need to have a much larger hit box and stuff needs to be visible (liquid glass) over a backdrop yet not a huge distracting obstruction. this is a slow transition away from the mouse to the finger as the primary input and the static wallpaper background to your living room and surrounding atmosphere. and so when the time comes it will be familiar and natural to use. just imagine what they are doing in the lab. i believe these decisions are intentional even with some flawed execution
