Anything is better than Liquid Glass

Strongly disagree.

I know it became a meme, but I love Liquid Glass. It’s never been an issue for me to read (in practice, anyway, as there were some examples in the announcement video that were hard to read but I assume those were from earlier builds).

The refraction is beautiful, the contrast is sufficient, it delivers on the promise Windows Aero made but could never achieve.

Plus I welcome with open arms a return to skeuomorphism. Controls appearing to have depth is so much nicer than the flat look everyone used for so long. I also love the jiggling that menus do when you touch them. 😁
