Apple has started rolling out the first Public Beta of macOS Tahoe. This update comes two days after the initial release of macOS Tahoe Developer Beta 4.
macOS Tahoe includes a new design implemented across the system called “Liquid Glass”. This is the second redesign of macOS in the recent times after macOS Big Sur. Everything from icons to the System UI will now adapt to the surrounding elements with the translucent material. According to Apple,” The new material, Liquid Glass, is translucent and behaves like glass in the real world. Its color is informed by surrounding content and intelligently adapts between light and dark environments. Born out of a close collaboration between the design and engineering teams, Liquid Glass uses real-time rendering and dynamically reacts to movement with specular highlights. This creates a lively experience that makes using iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV even more delightful.”
