It doesn't make sense because the previous version also matches the OS it's on, liquid glass degradation isn't mandatory and "much easier" is still harder than doing the better nothing.

Your suggestion is just as senseless: among the many things wrong with such a "write the app yourself" approach, you forgot about iOS, even though it's mentioned in the original comment, where you can't freely backport anything due to distribution being locked down

It makes sense. Like you said, previous versions used the macOS design language at the time, and the current version does the same. The developer has chosen to no longer support older versions of macOS, they aren't required to. The old app still works, and anyone else can work on it if they want.

> you forgot about iOS, even though it's mentioned in the original comment, where you can't freely backport anything due to distribution being locked down

Yes you can. You can create an app today that is compatible with iOS 15.

You forgot to address the point, which was about distribution, not creation

The previous paragraph is similarly irrelevant, for example, "aren't required to" - who said anything about requirements??

You create a backport just for yourself for your own device without needing the store, no distribution/App Store is needed.

You don't like some of the Liquid Glass stuff... fine, make something else. The old versions still work, I don't really know what you are complaining about. This level of support and polish in a free app is amazing.

It is needed, you can't install a custom app permanently on iOS. By the way, what if you only have iOS and not a Mac? How would you compile your backport?

> The old versions still work

I've already addressed it, come back with something meaningful rather than repeat

> I don't really know what you are complaining about.

I've explained it to you several times, maybe you can get that knowledge by reading the conversation carefully?

[sherry-sherry]

I know what you’re complaining about, I just think it’s silly at this point.

Old versions work still, you can create your own. The app has had lengthy and good support — which you can extend if you choose.

We get it, you don't like liquid glass, neither do I. But the source is available and there are alternatives to both MacOS and netnewswire.

[eviks]

No, you don't get it, otherwise you wouldn't repeat/add irrelevant points to a thread filled with them

[jamespo]

Sure, keep whining pointlessly then.
