It is Recommended to set Liquid Glass as the Default User Interface

Hello, Suggest making Liquid Glass the Default User Interface, thank you. 59.152.203.38 (talk) 00:03, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Liquid Glass is a design language for user interfaces; it is not a full user interface. Guy Harris (talk) 03:30, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And Aqua (user interface) refers both to the full user interface and the design language, which is unfortunate, but I haven't heard any name that applies to the parts of the user interface that are independent of the design language.

Microsoft Windows says the user interface is the Windows shell, rather than saying Windows Aero or Metro or some other design language that Microsoft have used. Guy Harris (talk) 03:40, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's Unix, not "Unix-like"

Mac OS X has been Unix 03 certified since 2007 yet this article claims it is "Unix-like" using uninformed sources. Please correct with this source: https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/ DHammarberg2 (talk) 03:06, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edit: changing "As of 2025" to "As of 2026"

At the time of writing, it is currently 6:40 AM UTC, therefore this edit should take place. I would've done it myself but I don't meet the requirements to edit this page. Keyboard1000n17 (talk) 06:41, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Updated. Thanks for pointing this out. novov talk edits 07:02, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
