Martin UnderhillWell I like this! Instead of the sledgehammer-to-crack-a-nut workaround of turning on reduce transparency and high contrast modes, with iOS26.1 you can just 'tint' the Liquid Glass UI.
Settings → Display & Brightness → Liquid Glass → Tinted
I don't often struggle with the low contrast of text and icons against the default liquid glass backgrounds (though I know plenty of people who do), but I don't like how dominant the glassiness is. Draws too much attention from what should be the most important thing: the content.
