Did you know the Reduce Motion accessibility toggle dramatically *increases* the blur behind Liquid Glass elements?
In fact, with this feature on, Liquid Glass looks way more like how it was demonstrated in the design sessions at WWDC.
It also doesn’t actually reduce a whole lot of motion in the new elements. So… 🤷♂️
Regardless, this is how blurry glass elements should be by default. It fixes a lot of the problems the design has with text
@stroughtonsmith You can also enable the Reduce Transparency and/or High Contrast accessibility settings.
Honestly I don’t really get the complaints, Liquid Glass looks great and I haven’t had any readability problems that weren’t already a thing before. The transparency is great and the reflections are awesome.
If it causes readability issues for you, that’s the whole point of the accessibility features! There’s no shame in using them!
@stroughtonsmith unfortunately it seems to have its own bugs related to it. In Springboard with reduce motion on if I open a folder and then close it again, when I try and open it again the first tap is ignored. And I’m also seeing some ignored swipe gestures in Springboard
And switching between apps seems to randomly drop down to 60fps (that is what it looks like anyway)
But it doesn’t do what it did somewhere around beta 3, where turning it on actually added stronger Glass nonsense 😉
