MacOS 26 (Tahoe)

macOS 26 Tahoe 'liquid glass'.

Apple are making significant changes to macOS with their new ‘Liquid Glass’ user interface in macOS 26. We will try our best to support the new macOS ‘look and feel’. However, the extent to which we can do so is mostly dependent on PerfectTablePlan’s graphical user interface library (Qt). Hopefully things will become clearer in the next few weeks.

Even if we aren’t able to 100% support the new look and feel immediately, PerfectTablePlan should continue to work fine on macOS 26.

And finally…

Planning the seating for Pope Francis’ funeral can’t have been easy. From the BBC article Who was at Pope Francis’ funeral and where did they sit?:

“Zelensky, who has been locked in negotiations and public arguments with Trump in recent weeks, was just 10 seats and one aisle away from him, on the same row.”
