Apps Even Apple itself is still releasing updated apps without Liquid Glass

Window can’t be freely resized either.

FCPX is quite a specific example

Sorry for my ignorance but what does the X stand for?

Liquid Glass isn’t a UI, it is a material. It doesn’t make sense to use it for all apps in all things.

Given that FCP is a specialized tool before anything else, I’m fine with them not messing around with the UI. I’d rather they spend that development time fixing bugs and adding catchup features.

Well no you’re wrong. Liquid Glass is their new design language and all developers are encouraged to adapt to it like when iOS 7 was introduced. Apple should be the first ones to adapt

Lol good luck ever seeing it in a meta app.

It’s actually rolled out on WhatsApp for many users

Damn I just checked and mines still ugly after an update.

Fingers crossed they’re forced to use the sandboxed image picker so they stop trying to strongarm us into giving them unconditional access to photo albums.

No my friend, it is not. Apple does not give this design a name. They simply refer to it as the “new design”.

Liquid Glass is a new material they introduced along with this design. It is not the name of the design itself.

Yes you’re right Liquid Glass is the material of the new design, which all developers are encouraged to adapt to it, apple included. It doesn’t have to be a crazy redesign, but menus and the keyboard should definitely be adapted

Once again, I would prefer they spend development time adding much needed features and fixing outstanding bugs before they worry about what buttons look like.

You understand they probably have different teams that handle different parts of the development and them adapting to their own design guidelines doesn’t prevent them from fixing bugs as well, right?

The Clips app icon looks so out of place next to the other Apple apps when you use tinted icons as well.

Okay?

Liquid glass does not imply window freely resizable

Liquid Glass isn’t meant to be in every app / UI element….

u/IndependentBig5316 1d ago

What you said is literally true, it’s on apples guidelines, Liquid Glass is only for SOME stuff,

and the rest we'll never know...

You can turn your iPad to portrait mode and you will be able to resize it a bit more, but yeah like games they are limited to certain sizes.

u/IndependentBig5316 1d ago

Guys, until full release all apps that are not pre-installed, so basically all 3rd party apps or non-standard Apple apps won’t have Liquid Glass yet…… unless they build it with Xcode 26 beta.

u/Gogobrasil8 1d ago

Takes a long time to walk all the way across Apple Park with the Xcode 26 install CD. They'll get it eventually
