macOS Tahoe (macOS 26) — Deeper UI customization
Apple’s macOS 26 “Tahoe” focuses on personalization. The update introduces a new Liquid Glass visual language and expands customization for icons, widgets, folders and the Control Center.
What’s new
- Liquid Glass visuals: New clear/translucent treatments that add depth to the interface.
- Icon & widget styles: Light, Dark, Tinted and Clear (Liquid Glass) looks you can apply to match your preferences.
- Folder personalization: Colorize folders and add emoji or symbols for quicker recognition.
- Control Center customization: Add and arrange controls (including from iPhone apps and third-party apps), create pages and pin controls to the menu bar.
Apple emphasizes flexibility — while some reports mention “more than 20 combinations,” official Apple documentation highlights several core styles (light, dark, tinted, clear) and broad mix-and-match possibilities rather than a specific combinatorial count.
