The next version of macOS will see a dramatic aesthetic change. This fall, Apple will release macOS 26 "Tahoe" (named after Lake Tahoe in California), featuring a new "liquid glass" look that's coming to all of Apple's operating systems. There's also a new Games app, along with updates to Spotlight and new features coming from the iPhone.
The new design features changes to the Dock, as well as toolbars and sidebars. This includes a transparent menu bar, which Apple says makes the display feel enlarged. The liquid glass will have more rounded corners, feature dynamic sizing for windows, apps, and toolbars, and feature clear accents that Apple's human interface design head says blur the line between hardware and software.
