Paul Kafasis’ post on Tahoe’s updated icons highlights the visual changes in macOS, particularly focusing on the icons found in the primary /Applications folder. The follow-up piece expands on this by examining a lesser-known subset of icons located in the /System/Library/CoreServices folder. These icons, while not as prominent, have also undergone significant redesigns and are worth noting for their aesthetic value. The author reminisces about the allure of discovering hidden gems within the operating system, like the “Add Printer” app icon, which once captivated him with its beauty. This nostalgia sets the stage for presenting the pre-Tahoe icons, which the author believes deserve recognition for their craftsmanship. The article showcases a side-by-side comparison of the pre-Tahoe icons against their Tahoe counterparts, emphasizing the loss of design quality in the latest update. The list includes various system-related icons like Add Printer, AppleScript Utility, and Spotlight, revealing the range of applications that have been affected by the redesign. Each icon serves a functional purpose, yet the author argues that the visual appeal plays a significant role in user experience. The post expresses a desire to preserve these older designs, suggesting that they reflect a level of care and artistry that may be missing from the newer iterations.
