The new iOS tab bar is Liquid Glass, but the two floating buttons above it ((+) and Search) are still solid colored. Design agreed they look out of place next to the glass bar.
What to Do:
Experiment with both floating buttons rendered in Liquid Glass, keeping a solid background behind the icon.
Also try the alternative from design: (+) in the app background color with a shadow.
Both are doable. The two FABs are RN views sitting over the native bar, so glass means adding expo-glass-effect with a solid fallback below iOS 26 and on Android/mWeb; the appBG + shadow version is just a color swap.
@shawnborton when you get a chance, would you make a decision here so we can wrap up these follow ups quickly?
Apologies! What decision do I need to make? I say let's try what you are quoting above. We basically want a solid color appearance but the edges/strokes of the FABs to have the glassy appearance. I am thinking that mWeb and Android stay as they are today. cc @Expensify/design

That sounds like a good plan to me!
