Apple announced updates to Liquid Glass at WWDC, introducing a customization slider and expanded sidebars to address criticism over readability. The new slider allows users to adjust transparency from clear to fully tinted, while menu bars and sidebars now stretch to screen edges for consistency. These changes aim to resolve issues from last year’s launch, where overlapping transparency layers made text and windows difficult to view.

Stacy Ford, VP of OS program management at Apple, called the updates “just the beginning,” hinting at further refinements throughout the year. The tweaks reflect Apple’s responsiveness to user feedback after initial friction with its design philosophy.
