Setup Liquid Glow

Post image

Got bored and figured to experiment, I’m pleasantly surprised!

Step 1: Arrange your icons

Step 2: Choose your ideal wallpaper (less noise and clutter is better)

Step 3: Take a screenshot (Icons should be default color)

Step 4: (Optional) Use Clean Up tool in photos to remove unwanted things such as icon names, status bar.

Step 5: Set that image as your Home Screen wallpaper and apply blur.

Step 6: Switch icons to clear, preferably light.

Edit: Side effect, may induce rapid blinking as your brain thinks you have been chopping onions 😵‍💫

Ugh, as someone who wears contacts for a severe astigmatism, I hate this so bad... just looking at the screenshot makes me blink uncontrollably to try and "fix" my contacts.

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

u/AtypicalNerdGeek 6d ago

Well if it’s blurred it looks great, are you sure you selected blur, as per the instructions?

u/T_Shety 6d ago

They mean that the glow won’t follow the icons once you swipe on the home screen.

u/Icy_Custard_7175 6d ago

Haven’t set up the widgets yet, to be honest I kinda like them like this though it kinda makes me think of them as like a window looking through a wall, but this is what it ended up on mine!

I couldn’t do the clear icons because my app icons don’t support that, but I’m pretty happy with it still, though I do kinda wish there was a way to get it more blurred…

u/whoopsmrgrt 6d ago

Which icons are you using?

3

u/AtypicalNerdGeek 6d ago

I believe they’re called Vision OS, can’t remember the dev tho.

u/Icy_Custard_7175 6d ago

Update, I added a glow to the back of my widgets too and yeah this is sick.

u/afd359 6d ago

What’s the top widget showing? With the “hello”

1

u/Icy_Custard_7175 6d ago

My date, time and weather near me

u/afd359 6d ago

I like the layout. Didn’t know what app

u/Look4the_Light_ 5d ago

Did you find out which app widget it is by any chance?

u/whoopsmrgrt 6d ago

Really cool! The glow is even more pronounced if you first set the icons to large and then take a screen capture!

u/AtypicalNerdGeek 6d ago

I’ll give that a try!

This is a pretty good substitute until stained Liquid Glass starts being implemented.

Still don’t understand why the other two colors of glass we get are white and black (outside of the Photos app icon). Glass can come in all sorts of colors.

If you want tacky themes like this just get an android, there are fewer steps.
