How to disable the 'glass' effect on iPad icons in iOS 26.2?

I have 26.2 installed on my iPad. as my 'groups' of icons are now much more difficult to read, as there's this strange coloured goop that comes out of one or even two corners, and thus obscures some of the icons inside! i love Apple, i have all their devices, BUT these 'clever' additions are just annoying and pointless and in the way of clear viewing. Does anyone else feel the same way? Might there be an option to 'turn the glass effect off'?

Original Title: the iPad's 'glass' effect

Read this doc by one of our fellow user Liquid Glass - Love It Or Hate It - It's … - Apple Community

Goop from corners is not a usual complaint about the Liquid Glass "feature." However, as for the icons, I agree the document that razmee208 has provided is the best action you can take at this time.

As the author's note at the top of the article states, read it all before acting.

Also note there is a link in the article allowing you to express your opinions about LG to an Apple employee. Apple won't see yout concerns in this user-to-user setting.
