Users praised Apple's Liquid Glass transparency slider in macOS Golden Gate and iOS for balancing clarity and readability after finding full transparency impractical, while others dismissed the feature.

@MKBHD There should be a slider from snowflake to engineer. Engineer setting would be total efficiency no superfluous animations and visual effects. Snowflake setting for those who prefer futilities over everything else.

@MKBHD NO WAY NO WAY ARE WE IN HEAVEN???? 😍😍😍
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED

Excellent addition — the Liquid Glass slider in macOS Golden Gate finally lets users dial in the right balance of clarity and depth. Subtle UI controls like this reduce cognitive load and support deeper focus, which matters a lot when working with AI agents or complex learning interfaces. How are you thinking about applying similar customization principles in your own tools?

@whattheycamefor @getheroik @MKBHD iOS updates are free? Or are you that slow?

@MKBHD Let's just go back to the old look 🤣

@MKBHD Created the problem. And we’re supposed to applaud for solving it?

@MKBHD rip to the separated search icon?

@MKBHD Yay ! Finally Apple listened and brought my slider concept:

@MKBHD What pisses me off is that’s not even fully clear like early Liquid Glass beta that I loved.

@MKBHD I hate Liquid Glass. Happy to see the new slider.

@MKBHD Thank you Tim

@MKBHD Apple finally listening to the people 😂🔥 Liquid Glass looked stunning in demos but fully clear was rough in daily use. A slider is the perfect compromise👏 Golden Gate is shaping up nicely 👀 #MacOS #Apple

@MKBHD That just makes so much sense to do so!
Liquid Glass for all baby 😍

@MKBHD @kediashubham when do we get liquid glass as background on app widgets?

@MKBHD iOS 18.5 still for the win baby.
Who is actually interested in this glass bs anyway.
Give the ppl stable simplicity without the fluff.

@MKBHD If advancements in technology is focused on “how it looks” instead of “what difference does it make” it is not considered progress. Technology should not fashion. It should be utility.

@MKBHD Wow seriously apple tremendous innovation.. give us something groundbreaking with the UI please!!

@MKBHD Finally!!! Was regretting leaving iOS 18 I hope this is better 🤞🏽

@MKBHD Boring
