If everything got updated like this, then that’s an awesome change. What made Aero so nice was that it didn’t interfere with legibility, while Glass threw legibility out the window. Striving for a proper foreground to background contrast ratio should be the bare minimim for a company like Apple, and this improves that significantly.

As long as it’s an option that’s okay. We quite like the look of the original somewhat so as long as we can have that version and make adjustments as necessary then it’s okay.

Options? Apple? Seems unlikely…

I don’t get the downvotes, Apple is religious about avoiding configuration.

They should have just called it appleOS 26 since they are bumping all of it to 26 and unifying the look and feel between all of their OSs.

And the explanation for 26 is that it’s the version for 2026. Seems like a good choice when settling on a common number for all the operating systems. Similar to MY26 in cars etc.
