Our next major update is here — and it’s got glass in it.

Yep, that glass. Non-solid, lowercase-G glass. It works right out of the box (as all glass should?) but you can also tweak every parameter. It’s a lot of fun.

And that’s not all! ↓

This beta doesn’t include the new redesign, btw. That’s still in the oven — and coming along nicely!

Not a terrible idea!

We got it this time! It hit spam this time for some reason, but we’ll make sure that doesn’t happen again. Thanks for persevering with that. Someone from the team will get back to you via email.

Really odd, and I’m sorry about that! I’ll ask around to see what’s going on. My first thought was a brief bit of downtime (around the time of your first message here) with our email/CRM provider, but if it’s happening now, it’s not that. In the meantime, can you try emailing [email protected]?

Ethan, I’m sorry this got missed here. Are you sorted now, or still do you still need help?

If you’re not running macOS 26, you won’t see glass here. We’re making sure anyone on a pre-Tahoe version of macOS gets a different, but equally good experience.

Yes, the new toolbar has The Glass. It’s got some other neat tricks, too. We’ll save those details for the big reveal.

This redesign is so nearly ready, beta dropping very soon.

How it started: “Hey @mmarfil.com, can you draw some new icons for the Tahoe update?”

How it’s going: There are 775 new icons in Sketch now.

We’re incredibly close to sharing this update with you! Thanks for your patience while we sweat the small stuff.

hey Jiri! You likely need to toggle this setting in the Command Bar or Symbol Popover and this should solve the problem for you! ✨

ICYMI: Our macOS redesign update is almost ready, but not quite! While you’re waiting, here’s a preview of a few improvements we’ve made to the layer list.

You’ll want the latest version of Sketch to try these out. That’s this one, btw ↓

There are soooooo many ways you can use progressive blur. Seriously. Not convinced? Okay, fine. Here’s a Sketch doc with a bunch of demos we made for an announcement video when we shipped this in Sketch ↓

TL;DW: Things are shaping up nicely. We’re not quite done, but we’re close. We didn’t take an easy route with this redesign and we took it as an opportunity to improve a few things along the way. We’ll share a bit more next week!

Thanks for sharing! Will pass this onto the team to see what we can do about it.

Sketch @sketch.com · Sep 1

Correct — this one is known. We’ll look to address it in a future update!

Here’s a document with most of the demos we created for the glass launch video, in case you fancy seeing how we made them → skt.ch/RZVc42m
