The first thing I did after two days. I'm still not happy and I can
safely say that this "Glass Thing" is a total failure and a dead end.

"Glass Thing"?

They call it "Liquid Glass" IIRC.

Here a bit of the propaganda:

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple today previewed a beautiful new software
design that makes apps and system experiences more expressive and
delightful while being instantly familiar. It’s crafted with a new >material called Liquid Glass. This translucent material reflects and >refracts its surroundings, while dynamically transforming to help bring >greater focus to content, delivering a new level of vitality across >controls, navigation, app icons, widgets, and more. For the very first
time, the new design extends across platforms — iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS >Tahoe 26, watchOS 26, and tvOS 261 — to establish even more harmony
while maintaining the distinct qualities that make each unique.

Oh. Cool. Thanks.

My machines don't have "Liquid Glass". One has a "Retina" display,
the other possibly does not.

Wait a until you will find the first articles in the press about
epileptic attacks because of this crap. In addition it is resource and
energy hungry.

Do LCD and OLED screens still hurt people? I know C.R.T. ones used to
but I don't think anyone sells those any longer.

There are already press articles that claim that this nonsense causes >serious stomach sickness with some users.

Right. :)

Thank you.

Those are two completely different things.

"Liquid Glass" is Apple's awful new software design for the look of the
icons, windows, menu bar, dock, etc. in their various OS 26
implementations.

"Retina" is the Apple's name for the 4K or better display hardware used
on all current Macs with built-in screens.

You can turn off transparency at System Settings > Display > Reduce

Nonsense. It's fine, and Apple will improve it over time.

Microsoft failed with it 20 years ago. "Liquid Glass" is waste of time
and resources.

Sure, Jan. 😉

More nonsense.

You are a Troll and brain dead idiot who has absolutely no clue about
iOS or macOS

Projection.
