Will liquid glass be coming?

[CaptainLevi]

As you probably already know Apple changed there design language with iOS 26. Will Pleco 4.0 receive this new liquid glass UI? I am also generally curious what Pleco is built on, is it a Swift app or something like React Native? I am assuming if it is a native iOS app then liquid glass will probably be much easier to add.

Pleco is a native iOS app, but I'm personally not a fan of Liquid Glass and am resisting its adoption in Pleco as long as I can. It seems like we can opt out of it at least until iOS 27, and hopefully by then they'll have refined it to something a bit more usable, but as it stands right now I see only negatives; it destroys the lovely iOS 7 convention of "color = interactive" which has been central to our app design for many years (because it meant that controls in toolbars and controls inline in text can seamlessly coexist).
