MacOS Tahoe vs. Sequaia: Here’s how much fluent glass will change your Mac icons

Fluent glass It doesn’t just come to your iPhone – It only comes to every Apple product with the screen you can think, including your Mac. MacOS 26 Tahoe They will bring out designs, which can also be a bit dramatic or barely noticeable, with a general look of feeling fresh while comfortably familiar.

MacOS 26 Tahoe is far from the design overhaul and will come Several new features When officially, it is easy, but it is easy to be caught with all the stylish apple done with this edition. Some of these changes are brand new, and some are new for Mac, but borrowed from yo, such as changes to icons.

The options of the new Mac icons include Toning color and making them completely clear Like you can on the iPhone. But even without these visual settings, Apple went to the redesign of standard Mac icons – some of which have not been changed in decades.

What is more interesting to me is that Apple manages to tell the same story as he visually speaks less with some of the redesigned icons.

If you are curious, I stressed a few new icons that you can expect to see in MacOS 26 Tahoe, but it should be borne in mind that icons can be re-changed again at the time the official construction is released. Below, I will compare newly designed icons to the current version of MacOS, Sequoia.

More, don’t miss What to expect on Apple’s event today.

Indented, flattened and rounded

The icons on the cat now feel more similar than those on the IO, with a rounded circuilla design. Compared to Sequoia, Tahoe’s icons become flattered in detail, and sometimes only the texture in the icons of the former OS version replaced with a subtle transparent effect. Sequoia is sometimes a concave or divorced style pushed to the outside, allowing liquid glass to add a small glow on the angles of elements in the design icon. Apple also retired to all elements of icons that previously hung edges – now all the matches in the form of icons.

Books

The updates of Apple book icons are simple, but work a lot for the entire design. The pages show builds to inform the depth, and the edges add a touch signature fluid glass. In addition, the book cover was added behind the pages, which shows a layered view of the glass.

Contacts

The application icon contacts to a great extent seems the same as for the elements inside it, but otherwise – Wow, which is the difference. Cardboard frame Brown “Contact Books” is replaced by a gradient and airy white white area with contrastable images of standard profiles. There is one less colored card to the right of the icon, and the remaining three are now straight in the design and include the entire height of the icon.

Digital color meter

Another good example of an Apple that excludes detail without sacrificing the impact is the application of digital color meter. Drop Drop is no longer hanging from the edge, the background is simply white instead of stark red, the shape is simplified in circles and colors take more pastel shades.

Disk utility

MacOS Tahoe shows the apple withdraw and tone the details of its icons while communicating the same thing. The disk utility application is one of the better examples of this – compare a new version in Sequoia and previous versions.

Folder

For years and years, the default folder on Mac was a turquoise blue, without much adjustment available. And maybe the color of the map on your Mac is not something that cares about thinking time, but if whoever he wished they could change the color folder, you will be able to change the color folder with Taho.

Inhibited in the system in system settings is a new default color color option, allowing you to switch between red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink and graffiti. In addition, the icon in Tahoe shows the document in it, unlike the empty maps of Sequoia.

iPhone Mirror

Updated mirror icon The iPhone is now more representative of what the app is running. It may not talk much about the application function, but it’s a step worse than the Sequio icon with one iPhone.

Photos

Another subtle liquid icon of fluid glass is in the photo application. In essence, it is the same design, but overlapping, the colored panels in color look a slight reduction in the overall width and the apple added to the great glass edges.

Settings

Updates The settings icons in Tahoe are small, but this is a good example of the subtlety fluid glass. If the inner depth icon retained for a decade, the colors were transferred, and the gear teeth were extended and softened. The fluid glass is most prominent in a smaller speed, which is more transparent, as if there is a piece of layered glass above it.

Gluing

The redesign of the application for adhesives is the return as its icon appeared from 2000. until 2020. years Basic Apple Guy MacOS Icon icon Chart. Instead of what looks like a POST-IT earmore, the latest icon returns to a pile of three notes that lie on each other.

Edit text

Tahoe’s update The text editing application could be almost too high reductive than Sequioi, abolishing a pencil completely, leaving only a notebook piece segment. It is certainly simplified, but Mac users who may not be as familiar with each individual icon can easily be accommodated for the text for something else.
