I think it’s due to Apple’s new Liquid Glass style guidelines, where everything needs to be layered.

I’ve only followed you recently, but your passion and talents are second-to-none, and it has always been a breath of fresh air to see you be authentically you. Thank you for leaving a positive impact on gaming, and on people’s lives. The world needs more people like you.

I've always preferred Reduced Transparency, but at this point I may just stick with the Tinted option with Liquid Glass on the Mac. The redesign has improved a lot on iOS, but it definitely still needs time in the oven for Mac.

Music just looks broken too (even without Reduced Transparency). I have the option to View Status Bar enabled, but it does not appear at the bottom.

Afterplace is pretty good. Though also on PlayStation, I do really enjoy Infiniti Nikki and its world building.

This is exactly what I do! I also don’t think that my brain can process having more than 10 tabs open at a time, period 😭
