How to adjust the transparency of Liquid Glass in macOS 27

I like it, but Apple’s implementation of Liquid Glass in its user interfaces has been controversial, to say the least. However, you can adjust the Liquid Glass transparency in macOS 27 this way:

Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen.

Open System Settings.

Click on Appearance in the sidebar.

Locate the Liquid Glass section.

Drag the slider to the left for a clearer, more transparent look, or to the right to increase frosting, tint, and opacity

If you want to turn off transparency almost completely for a solid background, go to System Settings > Accessibility > Display and turn on Reduce Transparency.
