Liquid Glass is tacky (feddit.uk)

Liquid Glass feels like one of those tacky themes you’d download to a computer or Android phone, run for 10 minutes, then delete. I’m not some anti-change guy, I loved the flat UI when it came out, it felt sleek and modern yet professional and unpretentious.

It’s not the end of the world or anything, I don’t hate it, but my phone interface feels childish now where it didn’t before.

Feels like windows vista all over again lol. I can deal with it. But there seem to be a lot of inconsistencies

I have a work iPhone 11. First word that came to mind after rebooting iOS 26 was... slop.

I remember the flat UI being called tacky when it started. You will give the glass thing in a few years.

You mean windows 95?

I actually think windows (at least) ui peaked with xp.

Also, my phone is too small to accept any graphic frivolities.

Yet, when XP arrived, it was dubbed “fisher price ui” Every ui change tends to irritate users.

Yeah, personally I like UI with as little flair as possible. It should be flat, with clear colors. The background should be a neutral color. Corners should be minimally rounded or 90°. UI is supposed to be functional first. If something hinders function there better be a damn good reason.

Agreed! You might be able to use some of these ideas by tweaking ‘Accessibility’ in Settings.
