It’s very simple. Do not upgrade from macOS Sequoia to macOS Tahoe. The UI is fundamentally broken in so many ways. My iPad and MacBook Pro are staying where they are on the latest release of last year’s OS. I deeply regret letting my iPhone update, thinking, “Surely it can’t be that bad.”
It is this bad. The liquid glass UI is lower contrast and less useable in every way. The use of transparency for no explicable reason is dumbfounding. I’ve managed to adjust a little bit for my day to day usage of my phone, but I refuse to let that upgrade harm my Mac, where I actually have to get real work done.
