PDX Transit for macOS in Light vs Dark Modes.

Was catching up on some #wwdc25 videos this morning and they were going over the AI tools in #Xcode. It completely reinforced my opinion that no one will ever learn how anything works if they rely on this stuff.

Xcode fix that issue. Xcode make my UI do this thing.

It’s sad really

Let me start by saying this won't be a thing but I wanted to see if I make a window fully transparent, would a Liquid Glass view still show whatever is behind the app... and two, what would it look like if I made a music player that sorta resembled an old Audion skin... (Mastodon won't let me mix media types, so here's the video -- #Audion screenshot in the next post).

But I'm getting ideas for new apps #macOS that aren't necessarily square in shape! :)

LOL the Settings app has the zoomies!!! Or maybe it just wants some attention.

Perhaps new Automator "Otto" icon for #macOSTahoe in the future?

(still nowhere near as good as the original)

THIS IS THE NEW MACINTOSH HD ICON?! WTH

#macOSTahoe Beta 5

Despite all these changes I am making for #macOSTahoe, I'm still able to easily support back to macOS 13.0 Ventura. It's sorta fun how different it all looks now... still not liking Tahoe though. Too busy.

I don't care that it looks "cool" -- "cool" doesn't help with usability. It should be an organic side-effect, not the driving factor.

Developer Diary: Entry #5

Last week, I was on holiday - a complete detox from the computer. I also managed to watch almost all the sessions from #WWDC25.

That's it for now...

Updated my #AppKit app a bit more:

Got rid of NSSplitView that housed the Map & TableView (only drawback is now the user cannot resize anymore).

This (along with the new automaticallyAdjustsSafeAreaInsets API) allowed for the Map to go under the sidebars not just for the areas above the TableView but all around it.

The TableView now floats over it with a 40% height.

But now content goes under both sidebars like it does in Apple Music. Hate it but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Am I remembering right that Widgets can now be inside a Swift Package in your Xcode project with Xcode 26? Or was that just for App Intents?

Part 1 of my WWDC25 series is out now!

I am using the new NSSplitViewItemAccessoryViewController in #macOSTahoe and pinning it to the bottom of my sidebar.

Why did I assume I would get that view that has the fade when content scrolls behind it like the top part of the scroll view under the toolbar?

Hmmm... Inspecting it looks like it adds a visual effect view somewhere in the hierarchy.

Apple at #WWDC25 introduced Foundation Models Framework - a new way to integrate Apple’s generative AI into apps, using on-device private models.
It supports text, image & multimodal AI, all with a privacy‑first approach.
