IOS 26 is here, however, the regeneration of Apple “Liquid Glass” design. Yesterday, I covered how Soon, most of the most severe changes that come with liquid glassBut the complaint submitted by users today requires a completely separate repair. Fortunately, there is an option that can help you, although not everyone.
Dark mode icons look a little tilted now
like Users publish on RedditIt turns out that the Dark Mode icons do not play well with the aesthetic of the new liquid glass from iOS 26. How much will it be disturbed by it will differ from one person to another, but mainly, some people via the Internet (and on the Lifehachaker team) now complain that the dark situation icons look inclined, as if they are not a completely dead position.
Personally, I am having difficulty seeing this when looking at my main screen as a whole, but after a colleague sent me a more enlarged snapshot, I can see how you will disturb him. It is an optical illusion, as the status of the icon is the same, but it exists.

It seems that the problem in the most prominent new is added to the corners of a certain icon, but not all while using the dark situation. Influential lighting produces an effect, as mentioned by Lifehaacker Sister Site Mashable, Some users complain about the rotor. Worse, how the most prominent points depend on your background – I can see them more easily on the dark parts of my background, but they tend to bleed into lighter parts.
Technically, these prominent points are also found when using application icons with lighter backgrounds, but they are less clear, because they do not contradict them as much.
Again, it may not be vulnerable to influence. If I do not focus on that, I tend to forget it. But if it is bothering you, what can you do?
Reducing transparency does not do anything
Unfortunately, a single repair does not seem to remove most of the problems related to liquid glass, “reduce transparency”, does not do anything for your application icons. Here is my main iPhone screen with a reduction in transparency, the same screen with it (please do not judge my notes and unlimited reminder).

This is a shame, since reducing transparency is easy to implement: You can only run it Settings> Accessibility> Display and Text Size TextAnd it will get rid of most of the transparent elements in the liquid glass for you. But because the symbols are solid anyway, you will not do anything here. Instead, you will need creativity.
Try to smel your application icons
Currently, unfortunately I don’t have to repair the Apple Dark Mode application icons. until Custom icons Apple’s dark mode background is still the most prominent new events. But I have one advice that will make you close to the same experience.
It turns out, that adjusting your application icons on the dark mode is not the only way to make them use quieter colors. If the dark mode looks ugly for you now, you can try towards the app icons instead.
What do you think so far?
This application icons gives a monochromatic appearance with a white or gray text, and although unfortunately this means losing the application icons in more than two colors, this also means that you can switch to other dark backgrounds that may seem less inclined to you. The outstanding outstanding points will remain present, but with the correct color background, you may be able to make them less clear.
To try it, go to your main screen, then press for a long time until your applications begin to shake. Click Restricting In the upper left corner, then Assignment. In the list that emanates at the bottom of the screen, choose colored.
You will get a light or dark Symbols (this is separate from the icons of General Light and Dark Mode, which are not monochrome). Think about the color tape higher color as a general color of the application, and the bottom as a way to get more specific in this color area. During, a light It will make the text of the application and the graphic elements white, while dark You will use a more gray tone.

You can play here to get the application dye you love better, although Apple has some shortcut buttons to help you find the color for you. Personally, I love the maximum left button, below the colored bars, this takes you to standard black and white if you have identified light or black gray and more dark if you have set dark. If none of these work for you, there is also the Apple Intelligence button that will try to choose a tin that is well with your background, or Eyedropper that would allow you to choose a color from your background.
Nothing is exactly the same as using dark mode icons, but if you are gay, it may be close enough.
Or wait update
If your application icons do not work for you, do not despair. Apple is likely to see these complaints Set the liquid glass accordingly. It’s really Two toning twice over beta 26So perhaps the real solution here is the time.
