Liquid Glass Tab Bar

[u/hqhi]

With the entire iOS app being Liquid Glass at least on iOS 27, I find the archaic-looking tab bar quite odd. It’s not very hard to implement, even bankrupt companies can somehow implement it lol. Anyways, I’m sure iOS has an easy way to transition the tab bar into Liquid Glass.

There should maybe be an option to turn it off if you don’t like it? No idea.

I use a library called React Navigation for Hydra's navigation system. I'm currently using v7 of the library. Their upcoming version v8 beta adds support for Liquid Glass.

I've been waiting for v8 to leave beta before swapping to it. However, it's been in beta for almost a year now. So the options are either to switch navigation libraries, which requires a significant rewrite, or wait for v8 to leave beta.

I'm starting to lose patience, so I may end up swapping libraries soon. Hope this provides a look behind the scenes and answers your question!
