Apple’s first macOS Tahoe 26 developer beta introduced a big change to the Finder icon that I really didn’t like, but thankfully, the company has reversed it with the second beta released today.
A big feature of macOS 26 is Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language, which it has applied across the operating system to give it a new look. But for some reason, for the initial version of the updated Finder icon, Apple bucked tradition and flipped the location of its blue and white elements. An outrage!
Fortunately, Apple has seen reason and shifted the colors back to their rightful places with the Finder icon in developer beta 2. 9to5Mac has a handy comparison.
The second macOS 26 developer beta also includes an option to add a background back to the menu bar, 9to5Mac reports, which should help make it more legible. The second iOS 26 developer beta got a good change to Control Center to help improve legibility, too.
