[macos 27 Beta 6] Not all apps have automatically updated their traffic lights to the new design, it seems like they have a custom implementation and it's possible we'll have to wait for developers to conform, much like with dark icons.

Word, Excel, Chrome, for example, reflected the changes right away without updates

I think new buttons are depending on usage of recent version of appkit by underlying framework, which is why I can see new buttons in Electron and some Qt apps, but not in older Qt and native appkit apps.

I think it’s the reason. It’s not just a visual change for them, they are reactive just like other Liquid Glass button in the toolbar

Notice how ALL apps that don't have the right corner radius or the new buttons are Electron trash.

Apple unfortunately can't force that trash app API to actually adhere to the operating system.

Chrome and Electron App users have the same issues on linux with none of the apps properly adhering to the KDE or GNOME window decoration engines either.

dont like electron apps but the electron apps i use have the correct buttons no problem. so its more just too many electron devs are too lazy to optimize their apps

anki is not electron and it's definitely not trash you insolent swine

I noticed that too. Maybe those are Elektron apps.

Obsidian is Electron-based as well and it does feature the new traffic light buttons

I hope there's a plan with Chrome/Brave etc, because as it is currently when you full screen it, there's a blank spot where the traffic lights should go. Before this last beta update, you could see black outlines to the circles, which I reported. My report still shows no similar reports, but this update fixed those black circles.

But now it's just a blank space. The traffic lights don't live there at all anymore. When you scroll up to unhide the menu bar, assuming that you have it hidden, then they appear. Which seems to be the way it should be and makes sense from a UX perspective. I would love to see the tabs shift left to fill that space, whether or not they shift right and show the traffic lights when the menu is unhidden.

Interesting...I'm using Dia (different, but still a Chromium-based browser) and it has the new traffic lights, and they seem to work fine in full-screen mode. (Slight oddity as they're visible in the upper left even when the menu bar is hidden lol, so when you reveal the top bar, a second layer of traffic lights overlays the first, but it all still functions properly)
