A full Mac desktop with menu bar, dock and app windows sets the stage for a desktop app demo.

What it does

Built on macOS Tahoe Liquid Glass Desktop by HeyGen (HyperFrames), Apache-2.0. The write-up and recipes below are varg's.

Clean wallpaper, glass menu bar, one focused app window, and native notifications sliding in from the top right.

When: Native desktop apps, menu bar utilities and system-level features.

Watch out: Do not show a real desktop full of personal files; build a clean stage.

Timing: Window open 0.3–0.4 s (scale 0.96→1), notification slide 0.4 s, hold 3 s each.

Also called: Mac desktop, desktop app window, menu bar scene
