In practice, the Tahoe-style sidebar ended up feeling very distracting. We actually created a prototype to test all the different options.

Regarding showing the Inspector with Show Interface unchecked, I’ll share with the team to discuss!

For those of y’all who thought this next update was just us slapping glass on things… nope!

It’s a full revamp, including a complete redesign (and rewrite!) of the Inspector. Lots more to say on this when the beta drops, but there are so, so many tiny improvements in here we think you’ll enjoy.

Yes, the new toolbar has The Glass. It’s got some other neat tricks, too. We’ll save those details for the big reveal.

This redesign is so nearly ready, beta dropping very soon.

How it started: “Hey @mmarfil.com, can you draw some new icons for the Tahoe update?”

How it’s going: There are 775 new icons in Sketch now.

We’re incredibly close to sharing this update with you! Thanks for your patience while we sweat the small stuff.

ICYMI: Our macOS redesign update is almost ready, but not quite! While you’re waiting, here’s a preview of a few improvements we’ve made to the layer list.

macOS Tahoe is out today, but where’s Sketch?

Well, here’s your answer… (sound on)

And finally: Progressive alpha. This one’s cool. One-click gradient alpha masks, basically. Just like progressive blurs, you can add stops and adjust them on the canvas. A true time-saver.

Not quite done, sorry! ↓

Also new: Concentric corners. Throw out that faved post from your favorite Design Influencer™ and set your corners to auto. We’ll calculate their radii based on the ones on the nearest container. Math!

Ready for another? ↓

Next up: progressive blur. Linear or radial. Add as many stops as you like. Adjust them right on the canvas. You’ve been faking progressive blurs long enough, it’s the real deal now.

Let’s keep going… ↓

Our next major update is here — and it’s got glass in it.

Yep, that glass. Non-solid, lowercase-G glass. It works right out of the box (as all glass should?) but you can also tweak every parameter. It’s a lot of fun.

And that’s not all! ↓

Hmm, should be working! Here I’m recording in our latest beta, but I checked our latest stable release and that’s the same. Are you using your PNG as a fill for a layer? Or just dragging it directly onto the Canvas (like I have here)?

Re: reverting a Stack back to a group, you can do the following: (1) Delete the stack layout by clicking the trash can icon in the Layout section of the Inspector (2) Switch the container type back from Frame to Group at the top of the Inspector.

Not every app yells at you to move. Gentler Streak uses your Apple Watch data to nudge you (kindly) in the right direction. Check out the full episode on YouTube: skt.ch/tl4

ICYMI — we shipped Stacks about a month ago, and while the best time to try Stacks was a month ago, the second best time is now.

Here’s @cjdowner.com with a walkthrough ↓

There’s a new option for automatic concentric corners — based on your layer’s distance to the nearest container. Now you can unbookmark that post with the formula you refer to. 🧵↓

That glass you’ve all been talking about? It’s available now in our latest beta. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think! And that’s not all… 🧵↓

This week’s tutorial from @raphaellopesph.bsky.social‬ is on liqui…fractal glass! If you want to play along, you’re going to need the latest beta (skt.ch/beta) with progressive blurs. Let’s go! 🧵 ↓
