supposedly his first move as CEO is to start several new domestic plants

They are from the Apple clan of Japan, or wherever part of China Apple is from, which has a rich history and leadership of the clan is periodically passed to a successor. This dates back to the fall of the great Steve Apple who was killed by Jewish space lasers that gave him cancer. There is a long voting process involved to select the new leader of the Apple clan and dedicated followers wait patiently for a white air drop that signals the new clan leader has been chosen. As an additional fact John Apple's grandmother was from clan Wutang which has made this choice highly controversial.

The apple never falls far from the tree.

I wanted to randomly bring Will Smith into this with a new line they are marketing around his persona..."Slapple".

You mean you can turn Windows 7 Aero off? I haven't found a way to turn glass off on MacOS. There's settings that seem like they would turn it off, but they don't.

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.

Sort of? Apple's reputation is traditionally that they make middle-of-the-road hardware, but make up for the shortcomings with software.

On paper, you can buy a Windows computer with better specs for cheaper, but the Apple computer still holds its own because the software is well-made, at least on the OS side of things. Even if the rest of their software was rubbish, you could get rid of it and still have a good foundation to work from. Hence why the Hackintosh was all the rage some years back. In theory, you could eke out the best of both worlds.
