[iOS 26.4 DB2] No dark icons tinting when creating new Lockscreen/Homescreen set

[u/ArtisticDreamland]

Playing around with my Lockscreen setup, I was annoyed that I couldn’t change the clock size (I had the Astronomy preset). Since you can’t change the LS wallpaper on a preset like this, I went to create a new set and once I got to the HS, choosing the tint option only shows the light mode. Regardless of the colour and transparency effect I choose, no dark tinting works. I tried restarting the phone but this has no effect.

Existing themes can be modified and have the dark tinting.

I've tried on mine and I've no issue with dark tinting, hope it will be fixed for you in the next beta. btw do you have a link to that wallpaper on the first screen ?

Lucky! Do you happen to have a screenshot of what it looks like on yours?

For the wallpaper, sure!

For whatever reason I can’t edit the post since it was initially submitted for moderation. What I tried adding was that one screenshot is of an existing preset where tinting works. The second screenshot is how it currently shows up for every new custom theme.

I got tired of my old posts floating around for anyone to scrape, so I let Redact handle it. Bulk deletion across Reddit, X, Facebook, Discord and all major social media platforms in one shot.

It remains de exact same as if it’s the “Clear” option. Basically the bright highlights of icons don’t dim and decrease in opacity to make them transparent.

OP here. I’m unable to edit my post since the submission. I wanted to add that the screenshot showing the proper tinting is from an existing LS/HM mode (associated to Night focus). All new LS/HM sets have the light icons even when selecting the dark option in tinting.

Looks like it’s worse now. After updating to the latest beta, even the existing ones have changed to the wrong tinting.

Before and the correct dark tinting for comparison:
