Widgets have also been redesigned for MacOS Sierra

With the arrival of iOS 10 we have seen a redesign of the interface of many aspects and apps of the system. I was surprised that Apple decided to keep the Mac widget and notifications window this year, if it was changing them on its mobile systems. Well, finally he has modified them too and has adapted them following the design of the latest version of iOS.

I told you that the desktop operating system was more similar to mobile every day, and it is. Let's see below what the new window looks like and what this would mean along with other novelties for MacOS.

New Widget and notifications for MacOS

We have gone from the classic and dark interface to a totally redesigned one. Now the look is white, which gives it a very distinguished tone. The widgets are in principle the same as we had before, but little by little they are improving. It is also a golden opportunity to boost Apple's application store, the Mac App Store. Developers could previously create their own widget for their apps, but now they are more attractive and in a way this is gaining utility and attractiveness for users who will use them much more.

Notifications are the other side of the coin, or rather, the window. The black interface disappears and the white one is displayed. I have looked for a method or some option in the settings to make it pitch black, like the dock or the menu, but it can't be done. I like the new style, but there I have to agree with the users who complain about the customization. The white white stays. Maybe in the future they will put a dark mode like that of Apple TV or the one that began to be seen in the iOS 10 betas. You can answer the notifications and delete them. It is done in the same way as in iOS. It is practically a full-blown copy paste.

They have done the same with Siri. Internally they will have had to make their bridges and develop and write a lot of code, but visually, when you activate it, you see that it is exactly the same as in iOS. A window opens and within it the Time or the app necessary to fulfill our requests and answer our questions opens. It's useful and works great, I'm just saying it's visually similar.

MacOS has other visual novelties in addition to widget

Users do not only live on widgets. To begin with, I could comment that the MacOS wallpaper is impressive. It seems silly, but when I have seen it after updating it has seemed like a new computer. At first I thought that the computer would be a bit bogged down and saturated with this update but it works very well. It does not come to bog down the Mac, but to include some improvements and optimize and boost the system. And almost without failures, because everything works perfectly. Siri, new widget and notifications, new interface and more useful and effective functions for the storage management. That gives you even suggestions, and is visually very attractive.

Videos not only from apps but also from Safari can be viewed in Picture and Picture, to view them more comfortably as a floating bubble. The windows of the programs and the apps can be managed more easily and other changes have been included. My recommendation: That you update as soon as possible. It works very well and no news has come out that says it leaves equipment unusable or anything like that. Even if it's only to test Siri, I have updated, and that my work team is an iPad Air 2.

Microsoft's will be able to boast a lot about their Surfaces and their touch screen, but the best and most beautiful desktop operating system is MacOS. They will have Cortana, but we have Siri and from day one it is very useful and fast. Much more even than on iOS, even if it's hard for me to admit.
