That’s a no from me. I’d be lost looking for stuff. At the same time, my Home Screen is all muscle memory and I use spotlight to open all apps not on my Home Screen in folders.
Got a tip for us?

I have mine all in grayscale, I identify the apps by their location in the home screen
Literally had this exact thing in 2009, it's almost like they cut and pasted from IOS 3 Jailbreaks.
Are we back to Windows Vista era again?
Any one remember Aero theme from Microsoft back in 2004?

It's nice having options. Don't like it? Don't enable it. Easy.
Have a feeling I'll like it.

I’m in the minority but I welcome this feature. If I ever replace my XS that is.
Don’t like it. Do we have the option to keep the classic look? This redesign looks like crap.
I was merely pointing out its quite useless as an option functionally. I think it exists purely as marketing for Apple to really sell the ‘Liquid Glass’ look rather than something that’s actually usable. But for aesthetics sure some may just like the style.
This is for those of us who want to constantly look at the wallpaper. The icons don't get in the way anymore.
This is a great way to use your phone less as it'll take a while to hunt down what app is what.
In all seriousness, it looks cool. I shall probably have it on for a day and then switch back.
But I love that Apple has done this.

Should have been named Unclear Look.
I see default, dark, clear, and tinted. In clear it allows light, dark, or auto for behavior. Dark just looks grey scale. Not a fan.
Hold anywhere on Home Screen then in the Top Left corner tap "Edit" then "Customize" and you'll have a "Customize" menu poup with "Default" "Dark" "Clear" and "Tinted".

My immediate response from trying it is it needs a “Clear with colours” option
Keep the glassiness, but leave in the colour components of text in widgets, badges, and icons.
It looks like the current implementation is automatically applied to existing assets though which explains a lot.

Dear God, please help us.

This is such an accessibility failure that I feel embarrassed for the designers who were likely forced to ship a beta in this state to make the WWDC deadline. This is like not having font rendering on a word processor beta. Contrast ratios are basic stuff that every UI designer has to consider from the foundation of a project.
No - it is the first version of a Beta of a new OS. Do not judge based on the pictures, you are seeing, become a developer and give Apple the necessary feedback.
Easy thing...
i'm surprised engineers at apple over 50 years old did this because it's very hard to read
