Same here. Just upgraded and despite disliking the initial reveal this is pretty good. Feels playful and just a little less corporate.
On iOS I do like that toolbars get out of your way a bit more.
What’s funny is Google has the same idea with material design, but they just stuck big annoying floating buttons on top of the content. It wasn’t a bad idea, the execution was poor.
Editing that idea back and doing regular buttons and transforming the toolbars on iOS is an improvement.
Readability is better than I anticipated, except the clock and battery indicators need more definition.
I’m not a fan of this on my Mac though. I’ve found a ton of bugs there, it’s inconsistent, performance bugs and freezes, and the toolbar settings result in breaking behaviour per app.
Yeah the toolbars are the best upgrade
