I've only used it in passing when somebody's handed me their phone to put my number in or something but I think the big objection is not what it looks like but it's usability or lack thereof.

Why would I want my user interface to be transparent, isn't the whole point that I need to be able to see the interface surely I want it to stand out from the background.

The other complaint is that the analogy doesn't really work, glass isn't a liquid substance, so why does it make sense for the sliding toggle to morph?

Literally not a single lick of usability improved from glass theme. Lots of elements worse. I support a handful of relatives and none of them like the change and still find the theme confusing.

Hilarious that you got downvoted into the negative for daring to voice a dissenting opinion. Truly, Lemmy is a child of Reddit.

Edit: Back above zero! I take it back, maybe I spoke too soon?

I do kind of wish that there was a way to bring back the old squishy gel 3D icons, though.

The current thing is a bit of an awkward cross between them, and the flat colours that seem to be basically everywhere now.

I thought I was the only one. Genuinely my favourite theme they’ve used.
