Title: macOS Tahoe's Terrible Icons

Link: https://apple.slashdot.org/story/25/11/07/175...

An anonymous reader shares a report: On the new MacOS 26 (Tahoe), Apple has
mandated that all application icons fit into their prescribed squircle. No
longer can icons have distinct shapes, nor even any fun frame-breaking
accessories. Should an icon be so foolish as to try to have a bit of
personality, it will find itself stuffed into a dingy gray icon jail. [...]
While Apple had previously urged developers to use squircle icons on our
apps, they've now taken things much further to ensure compliance. It's a
shame. Apple updated their own app icons on Tahoe, for both the squircle
shape as well as the new "Liquid Glass" interface. Mostly, these icons seem
dumbed-down, with a loss of detail.
