How do I remove the liquid glass look from app icons on iOS 26?

I think the liquid glass option is ugly and looking at the layout for too long gives me a headache. how do i remove the feature or get rid of the outline on all my app icons? i feel like it should be optional instead of forced.

Hello~ At present …what you want is not possible. There’s simply no other way to put it. You may also lick on below and let Apple know you thoughts as they will not see them here.

That is of absolutely no use for most users unless you explain that you changed icons for shortcuts, and even less use if you don't explain how, maybe in a User Tip if you stick around long enough to get promoted.

We live innovative tips, not simply grandstanding with no explanation.
