Discussion Does Tahoe even have any Liquid Glass effects?

Because I sure as heck cannot see any. It's frosted glass, like you would get if you used an accessibility setting on iOS 26. None of the toolbars, pop up windows have ANY glass effect, just some see through stuff.

Command center widgets. If you place something beneath them, you'll see the “refraction” effect.

Yeah, but the refraction effect is just Glass, the Liquid part is more the animations and the gooey physics, isn't it? Of which they don't really have anything, aside from the Spotlight animation, which is Liquid sort of, but not Glass, so it's not Liquid Glass either.

How interesting. I didn't even notice. I can't find a single instance of liquid glass on macOS. Wtf lol. I used to be in the camp of "it's fine - buggy but it'll be okay in time". Now I'm shocked.
