I can probably get over this last one, but it also confuses the primary controls on the window.

Are these controlling the window or the sidebar?

But then if it's not floating on top of anything, the effect is incredibly weird and ugly.

The answer to "what is it floating on top of," most often, is nothing.

After all, if there were something there, the user would never be able to access it in most contexts (content scrolls vertically, not horizontally, about 99% of the time).

Apple's framework has this as an option.

The worst is that the sidebar is often confused about what it's supposed to be floating on top of.

This is the *Finder*... what is happening!?

But beyond that, it's just awkward beyond belief.

First, all the margin required by floating it creates a lot of wasted space.

If that were the worst of it, whatever.

I'm down with Liquid Glass.

Sure, it needs a lot of tweaking, but it's mostly fine. And it's just an incredible amount of fun.

BUT the sidebar is a train wreck.

Can we talk about how amazingly good of a buy the 1st Gen 11 in iPad Pro when it was released?

The GOAT.

I have found the darkest of dark patterns. Is this even legal?

Truly "Super."
