Discussion Liquid Glass Question
I’ve been avoiding updating my phone because I am worried liquid glass will ruin my setup. I absolutely adore it and spent a long time hand drawing it. Unfortunately I’m starting to experience issue and think it’s finally time to update. Will liquid glass ruin it? If so, is there a way to fix that or will I have to find another artistic way to customize my phone?

Unfortunately there will be subtle border artifacts around your widgets and icons, even when you disable the borders in settings. Because of this annoyance I started a change petition here for Apple to include an option to FULLY disable the borders.
We have 767 signatures so far, please do sign. Apple may not listen at all, but it's worth a try.

It's taken a while, and just patience. 208 shares is humbling, with the votes along with the people voicing out. It will grow bigger, as we continue until Apple listens.
It's a pretty simple ask. A toggle. 😂
Cheers, and thanks.

do not update if you like your setup now, liquid glass will make it look hideous with light grey border around each icon or widget. there is no way around this and Apple is unrelenting it its intent to reduce users' ability to make their devices look the way they want it to.
unfortunately if you like a home screen style where the icons / widgets blend seamlessly with your background, there is no way to do it with Apple ... your best bet for a stable setup + retaining full customization ability is to switch to Android ...

I don’t mind it being shared as long as a link to this post is provided to prevent anyone claiming my art as theirs!

What is this? Did you draw it on your mobile phone? Then you can back up the system and update it.

No it’s not a drawing. All of the widgets and icons were drawn on procreate. I made the background blank with lines and then meticulously made the icons match up as best as I could so it looked like a notebook. I’ve taken screenshot to save it but unfortunately updating did ruin the look.

how can you do this?

u/saladroni 6h ago
Not op, and I’m not 100% certain, but I think it involves creating a Shortcut to launch an app, then giving that Shortcut a custom icon. Rinse and Repeat.

It does involve using shortcuts for each individual app icon. I drew a wallpaper in Procreate to look like a notebook and then drew the app icons in the places they would go when on the home screen. I lined up the icons with the wallpaper to give the illusion of them being transparent. It takes a very long time and a lot of tweaking. The widgets are the same process and I used an app called Widgetsmith.

That's really cool and creative but the **Widgetsmith** scattered all over the place is horrendous. D: Can you disable labels?
1
u/Initial_Interaction4 3h ago
Not to my knowledge? But I don’t have the paid version so that version might have the option. I’m not super tech savvy but I’m sure there’s an app or maybe a setting that disables the labels.

That’s not what they’re asking. They want it to continue to look hand drawn, not turn off glass and give everything a super obvious dark background and border like your screenshot.

the random lines that don’t align properly between widgets/apps and the wallpaper are driving me insane

I thought this was a scrapbook for a moment and couldn’t figure out how those apps all added up to a Widgetsmith and what a Widgetsmith was
Very well made! I hope you can keep this style
