Did a quick test to see what the Bitcoin Core App might look like in the Liquid Glass style. After trying it out in the beta, I don't think the changes are super massive. The biggest thing is probably that there are much fewer fixed bars at the top and the bottom. Those buttons are moved in a little bit as floating elements. And then you have the progressive blur behind them to create the needed contrast. Those buttons are also more dynamic and re-arrange as you scroll, or morph when enabling modes (like going to select/edit in a list). It's like there are two layers now - the content layer and the glassy button/function layer on top of it. Still learning though. I imagine that adjusting to these is much easier with native iOS, and apps using web technologies to render have a super hard time to imitate those behaviors. What do you make of Liquid Glass? Did you have a chance to mess with it yet? image

Did you see how they toned down some of glass effects (made it more frosted) in the latest beta? There are some noticeable differences in how prevalent the effect is across apps now. I am curious where they land in the end. I like aspects of it. Moving elements inline to give the content more room is nice. Some of the glassy visual details are not really necessary, I find.

That's how it is sometimes. When you just use things and don't think about them, they may feel just fine. But if you scrutinize hard, you find all kinds of flaws. Good to look at things both from the intuitive and the analytics perspectives.
