Aqua is the graphical user interface, design language and visual theme of Apple's macOS and iOS operating systems.It was originally based on the theme of water, with droplet-like components and a liberal use of reflection effects and translucency.

A water droplet creating ripples. This picture was taken by Roger McLassus, and appears in the article Drop (liquid). I think it is a picture of good quality, exeeding the others I have seen of drops and ripples (including Fir's). Nominate and Support | A ndonic O Talk 00:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC) Oppose.

A droplet of water forms a spherical shape, minimizing contact with the hydrophobic leaf. Cocoa powder, an example of a "hydrophobic substance". The hydrophobic effect is the observed tendency of nonpolar substances to aggregate in an aqueous solution and to be excluded by water .
These ice particles end up as the nuclei of larger ice crystals. This process only happens at temperatures between 0 °C (32 °F) and −40 °C (−40 °F). Below −40 °C (−40 °F), liquid water will spontaneously nucleate, and freeze. The surface tension of the water allows the droplet to stay liquid well below its normal freezing point.
One of the major differences between the classic Mac OS and the current macOS was the addition of Aqua, a graphical user interface with water-like elements, in the first major release of Mac OS X. Every window element, text, graphic, or widget is drawn on-screen using spatial anti-aliasing technology. [ 142 ]
