I was really happy when they added the pictures! Dyslexia, the icons are 100% faster for me, I don't use those menus often enough to know what is in there word wise, but I can read the icons super fast.

How can you read the icons if they mean different things in different apps?

Usually I like Apple’s OS updates but Tahoe is absolutely awful from the glass to the noddy sizing of everything. MacOS does not have to harmonise with VisionOS at all and it’s been a disaster for macOS to try.

I agree. Tahoe is disgustingly unusable; I'm happy that Alan Dye left Apple.
I hope Apple will backtrack on Liquid Glass after Tahoe. Otherwise, I'll just switch to Linux.

Oh, thank you for posting this. Just ran the Terminal command and it’s a vast improvement.

I still miss launchpad.
Which is made worse by the fact the spotlight has become terrible.
Safari is unusable due to some weird sync that happens whenever I open a new window ( i dont use tabs) and adding bookmarks takes about 10-15 seconds.
Please Apple, help? Apple seem to have lost their cultish drive to satisfy UI obsessive like me who often didn't even know what we wanted until they gave it to us. Now, we know what we want, but Apple can't give it to us.
it's as if the icons get added by a lazy LLM prompt during CI

Great now just need the same for the window corners and ridiculous Finder overlays.

Exactly.
I blame apple for making me run an old macOS version because I don't want to look at this ugly mess they've created.
I've been running macOS since 2008, and unless they manage to turn things around, my next laptop won't be an apple.

I agree. I also tried Tahoe, and reverted back to Sequoia right away.
Either Apple is going to turn things around, or I'm done with Apple for good.

There's actually a built in way to remove them in settings. System Settings -> Menu Bar.
You can uncheck or drag items around in the menu bar and group some inside of the menu bar control (and even create new menu bar controls).
I wish you could add third party apps to them, maybe that'll be next. But it's nice you can hide any apps icon right there.

This is for the icons in the drop-down menus, not the icons in the menu bar.

It's hard to justify Tahoe icons
