Why would I want my user interface to be transparent, isn't the whole point that I need to be able to see the interface surely I want it to stand out from the background. The other complaint is that the analogy doesn't really work, glass isn't a liquid substance, so why does it make sense for the sliding toggle to morph? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] stoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 months ago The transparent theme is just one of several settings for it, and that it idiotic, but the normal mode when it adds a bit of gloss and texture to the icons is great permalink fedilink source parent [–] sunbeam60@feddit.uk 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 child) Literally not a single lick of usability improved from glass theme.
