   Not retooled, but there is now an option in iOS 26.1 (and presumably   
   all the other Apple OSes) to at least tone down the horrible mess.   
      
      
       Make Liquid Glass more frosted   
       ------------------------------   
       One of the main highlights of iOS 26 is the new Liquid Glass   
       interface. However, Apple's attempt to make its operating   
       system look fresher and more modern has resulted in as many   
       complaints as compliments.   
      
       After many attempts to fine-tune Liquid Glass, Apple decided   
       to give users control over the interface. That's because   
       iOS 26.1 adds a new toggle to radically adjust the appearance   
       of Liquid Glass. Now you can choose between "Clear" mode to   
       stick with Liquid Glass's transparency or "Tinted" mode for   
       higher opacity and better contrast.   
      
       To do this, go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Liquid   
       Glass and choose the best option for you.   
      
       If you're part of the group of users who were unhappy with   
       Liquid Glass in iOS 26, you'll certainly appreciate the new   
       "Tinted" mode. Of course, if you like Liquid Glass, you don't   
       need to do anything about it - and you can rest easy without   
       worrying about Apple backtracking on Liquid Glass now that   
       there's an option.
