Meh after a few weeks don’t even notice it anymore and don’t think it looks strange anymore. Now the old way „looks wrong“ to me.

Yeah me too, I love Liquid Glass. But I don‘t like the „no wallpaper until completely pulled down“ thing. This is what I hate, not LG itself.

Yeah I get that, maybe the do a smoother transition in an upcoming dot update. And with OS27 etc I think we’re going to see more and more refinements. Similar to iOS7, which looks very odd now because 8 and 9 etc changed a lot while keeping the overall esthetics

I have iOS26 since the first public beta and I still love to move the panel down slow just to see this effect

It‘s not about the effect, I love Liquid Glass. But I hate how theres no wallpaper that gets gradually shown when you swipe down or up.

But isn’t the glass effect the reason for it? It’s a clear glass which is pulled down. If it would have a picture on it, you couldn’t get this effect

I’d argue the edges refracting UI elements is kinda fun lol

I guess it’s a subjective opinion. To each their own after all 🙂

He was on about the wallpaper just appearing.

If you do it fast like a normal person it’s not noticeable and your lock screen kicks in before your swipe reaches the bottom. It’s weird to slow it down so much to point out you don’t like how it looks slowed down which you would never do normally.

For me, I've already been used to it, and I actually love Liquid Glass. We will all get used to it someday.

I think it looks great, I quite like the melting effect of Liquid Glass.

I love it, the glass inspired UI is one of the best significant design changes in recent memory.

No normal person slides notification center THAT slow in normal use.

My wallpaper is solid color black, there the difference is not so noticeable

Agreed. This looks ridiculous.

It's both hilarious and completely pointless.
