It's time to spend a bit of time making sure Runestone works on iOS 26. The New File dialog was completely broken on iOS 26 but it has been repaired! ⚒️✅

As you can imagine, the Liquid Glass redesign also completely butchered Runestone's navigation bar. That's fixed now.

Instead of embracing Liquid Glass's transparent navigation bar, I'm bringing the blurred background to iOS 26. I think it's a great design for a text editor and the best way to focus on the text.

Time to fix the keyboard toolbar. Look how they massacred my boy 😢

While I’m not totally happy with it, I think this will be the toolbar Runestone ships with for iOS 26. It's a decent start and I can always refine it down the road.

The new “Always Open With” functionality of the Files app in iOS 26 is such a welcome addition! And of course, Runestone will support it 😄

Trying out the new scroll edge blur effect in Runestone, and while it actually looks pretty slick, I don’t understand:

1. Why it doesn’t blur the line numbers when they’re below the navigation bar.
2. Why it blurs the left side of the screen when I’ve set `edge = .top` on UIScrollEdgeElementContainerInteraction.

I can’t seem to find a solution, so this probably won’t make it into Runestone at this time 😕

Getting the collapsible header working with the new window management system on iPadOS 26 was a bit tricky, but a fun challenge, and I think the result turned out quite good.

@simonbs looks great. Will you change the Done button to an X? Button(role: .close)

@simonbs looks great! What was the trick that solved it?
Show threadSimon B. StøvringSep 1, 2025
@sense I ended up not using the builtin progressive blur but a custom one. It addresses the issue and gives me more control.
Show threadMagnusSep 11, 2025
@simonbs Any pointers on how you did the custom progressive blur? :)

@simonbs Thanks, we use more or less the same approach, but haven't been approved yet (a bit nervous about it for what I'm guessing are obvious reasons) 😅
Show threadVinceAug 31, 2025
@simonbs You could try to set scrollView.leftEdgeEffect.isHidden = true to hide the blurring on the left side. The line numbers are probably trickier depending on your view hierarchy. It's important that anything that should be affected by the scroll edge effect must be a subview of the UIScrollView. Not only that, it must be below the private `_UIScrollPocket` and above the `_UIScrollPocket.Backdrop` views.
Show threadSimon B. StøvringAug 31, 2025

@vpsteinmann I tried setting leftEdgeEffect.isHidden = true but it's still being blurred. I really don't get it 🤷‍♂️

My line numbers are children of the scroll view but I’ll verify their relationship with those private types.

My current theory is that a content inset may interfere with the effect, causing it to show up unexpectedly or not show up at all.

Show threadVinceAug 31, 2025
@simonbs ok yeah, that's really strange. contentInset seems like a good theory.
Show threadVinceAug 31, 2025
@simonbs Also, zOffset must be exactly 0 on all subviews (line numbers). Lower or higher values mess with the scroll edge effect.
Show threadSimon B. StøvringAug 31, 2025
@vpsteinmann I just checked the view hierarchy and see that my lune numbers are above _UIScrollPocket. That must be the culprit, then!
Show threadSimon B. StøvringAug 31, 2025
@vpsteinmann Yep! Rearranging the view hierarchy makes the line numbers become blurred. Thanks a lot for your help!

@simonbs To be honest - despite the cause (which is weird) - it actually looks more like a „it's a feature not a bug" 😅

@simonbs I love iPad and try to use it as much as possible. One of the things that annoys me though when switching between apps on iPad vs. on macOS is that the Mac is better at setting the focus of where I want to type. Whereas on the iPad I find myself needing to tap on the app I just switched to. Do you know if that’s iPadOS or is that lazy app implementations?
