I think Liquid Glass is inherently bad. Universaly accepted truths about UIs that Liquid Glass violates:

* Consistent look across instances

* Consistent look as surrounding content changes

* Contrast is meaningful

* Interactsble elements are not stacked on the z axis

* Animation conveys meaning

You can see evidence that even Apple understands this by the presence of the options to disable many aspects of Liquid Glass living in the accessibility options.

Perhaps they can add a ‘macOS Classic’ option, in the style of Windows letting you show 98-themed UI, and the many attempts at bringing back an XP-ish look to modern versions.

I’d pay… 30€ for my Mac to again look like the cat-named versions.
