macOS Icon History

news.ycombinator.com Https 2026-02-08 05:25:41

With macOS 26, Apple has announced a dramatically new look to their UI: Liquid Glass. Solid material icon elements give way to softer, shinier, glassier icons. The rounded rectangle became slightly more rounded, and Apple eliminated the ability for icon elements to extend beyond the icon rectangle (as seen in the current icons for GarageBand, Photo Booth, Dictionary, etc.). With this release being one of the most dramatic visual overhauls of macOS's design, I wanted to begin a collection chroni

When Did Nature Burst into Vivid Color?

news.ycombinator.com Molly Herring 2026-02-13 22:09:09

In the animal kingdom, there is incredible variation in visual perception. What an animal sees depends on the structure of its retina and its neural visual processing system. Most insects can see ultraviolet, blue and green light, but there is wide variety among arthropods; mantis shrimp eyes have up to 12 different channels of color, revealing the ultraviolet spectrum and polarized light. The ancestor of living vertebrates could likely detect red, purple, blue and green — an ability that was ma

How Do Pimple Patches Work? Here’s Everything You Need to Know

How do pimple patches work? Back in the day, getting a zit meant caking on disguising layers of foundation, concealer, powder …or maybe just a strategically angled hairstyle. But now, the game has changed: Why hide a pimple when you can dress it up? No frantic blending or pore-clogging products are required.

10 Years of Pomological Watercolors

10 years of pomological watercolors A decade ago today I published a blog post calling for the US government to release its paintings of fruits.
