Hi there,
another liquid glass effect rendered the unread counter in iOS and iPadOS nearly unreadable as my attached image shows.
Depending on the background this count is sometimes meh or not readable at all.
It’d be nice if this design glitch would be solved in the next release or so.
Thx and best,
Axel
I’m not sure how we’d fix that except by doing something extremely intrusive — maybe a dark background pill shape with the unread count inside it. But that would look super weird.
This is really a drawback of Liquid Glass. What I’ve done is to turn on tinted Liquid Glass (instead of clear) and to turn on Reduce Transparency. These two settings help a ton with issues like this!
This screenshot was made with LG = tinted!
Proposal: Match the font type/size of the folder/rss source name, but always keep it visible, if the naming is too long and keep it in the same alignment.
As you can see “1 Zeitung” is very readable…
I know you’re not a fan of exzessive settings options (your last talk w JGruber), but this could maybe an option: Show / Hide Unread Count
If someone wants to see it, it will be shown w/o any issues, if not then not …
Finally: a feature that does not work should then be eliminated or better: improved to be helpful.
Thanks for taking the time and consideration.

Honestly this kind of artifacts are found here and there, even in stock apps. I’m afraid this is indeed more an LG problem, rather than a NNW one.
This is my 2 cts, I have no authority on the question, just chiming in.
I agree this is less than optimal and the LQ effects often get in the way of using a device. I’ve also switched Liquid Glass to tinted mode. And I also agree with @brent and @Frizlab that NNW shouldn’t (have to) fix this. Its an OS-level issue and Apple needs to get a handle on it.
I think Product Feedback - Apple is where this needs to go, and if you have access to it, use the Feedback App Apple provides to beta testers and send them a screenshot of the issue in as many apps as possible (NNW is not the only one).
