Solid wallpaper better for new Liquid Glass look ?

[GC251114]

Good afternoon all.

I’ve been reading lots of posts on here & other forums about how messy the CC & other parts of the menus can look with the new Liquid glass icons/look.

I’ve seen a few videos & pics of the Control Centre in particular & it seems that if you have a set wallpaper of patterns & bright colours etc , the CC with its new transparent liquid glass look , can look a visual mess with just a jumble of icons due to the CC being an overlay of more icons etc underneath.

Now this is going to be tweaked & is only beta 1. Going by previous betas of 18, 17 etc , there’s no way things like this don’t get sorted. Currently I can see how some are having readability issues.

As a temporary workaround & make easier on the eye , is a solid coloured wallpaper more pleasing to the eye when it comes to the new liquid glass icons/CC look ?

If anyone has screenshots of a solid coloured wallpaper (Blue) , I’d be interested in seeing how it looks & your thoughts.

Cheers

I love the Liquid glass look, but I hate how it doesn’t apply to all wallpapers. First one is nice and clear glass look on my own wallpaper, the second is Apples iOS 26 background and it won’t show as clear glass. Very odd. It’s as if liquid glass is not truly clear on some backgrounds.

Hi.

This is a great help. Your solid blue background in near as damn it the same shade I have. Do you find with the solid coloured wallpaper the liquid glass icons stand out nicely. I also read that dark mode icons show off the new glassy look possibly better than light icons ?
