Blurry App Icons in iPadOS 26

The new iPadOS 26 blur effects are actually making me feel somewhat queasy when looking at the Home Screen. Reducing the transparency and darkening the wallpaper have helped a bit. I am not sure what else can be done but I wanted to report an uncomfortable physical response when looking at the screen. I am considering moving the worst application icons off the Home Screen but really don’t want to.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 26
