androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-09 18:27:33

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 QPR1 beta users are noticing a change to the weather at a glance icon. The icon now appears flat and colorless. This change is happening in QPR1 beta only, not stable Android 16. If you’re an Android 16 QPR1 beta user and noticed that At a Glance looks a little different lately, you’re not alone. Google has rolled out an update to the weather icons that appears to have users divided. At a Glance, which appears at the top of the Pixel Launcher,

macOS Icon History

news.ycombinator.com Https 2025-08-10 01:25:41

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

More assorted notes on Liquid Glass

news.ycombinator.com Riccardo Mori 2025-08-16 13:18:22

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been trying to make sense of Apple’s latest user-interface redesign — Apple calls it Liquid Glass — that will affect all their platforms in the next iteration of their respective OS versions. But it’s hard to make sense of it when, after checking Apple’s own guidance, I’m mostly left with the feeling that at Apple they’re making things up as they go. If you’ve been following me on Mastodon, you’ll be already familiar with a lot of what follows. I just wanted

Play Store search tab pops with color in latest Material 3 Expressive refresh

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-13 14:31:08

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR The Play Store is getting a taste of Google’s Material 3 Expressive design language with colorful new icons in the search tab. The new icons make search shortcuts more vibrant and easier to tell apart at a glance. The update was spotted on version 46.5.19 of the Play Store app and seems to be a server-side change. Google is rolling out a colorful and visually appealing update to the Play Store’s search tab. The tab now features colorful new icons ins

How to Bring Back Oddly Shaped App Icons in macOS 26 Tahoe

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-09 16:11:58

How To Bring Back Oddly Shaped App Icons in macOS 26 Tahoe June 11, 2025 macOS 26 Tahoe replaces the oddly shaped app icons that once brought joy and personality to the Dock with the familiar squircle icons from iOS. Here's what that looks like. The lovely Things icon now sits awkwardly on a glass background 😢 I strongly dislike this change. Part of the Mac’s soul was in its expressive, varied app icons, a case of character over conformity. Fortunately, there's a way to bring back the perso

Here’s a closer look at the Liquid Glass design in iOS 26 on the iPhone

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-09-16 14:09:20

Apple said yesterday that iOS 26 was its biggest update to the look and feel of the iPhone since iOS 7, with the same visual design language used across all the company’s devices. It’s certainly a pretty dramatic change, depending on how far you want to take the look. For example, in addition to the ‘tint’ options we got in iOS 18, there’s a new ‘Clear’ option to make all our app icons monochrome glass – which you can see above … Like tint, I have to wonder how many people will actually use it
