I’ve noticed with the new design language, SwiftUI views appear to not use color as much. Example, color modifiers for List View items like carets. Is this intended and can developers introduce color back into SwiftUI view elements, if desired, like in iOS/iPadOS 18?
Specifically, accent color not been used in List disclosure outline carets.
As part of the 6/12/25 SwiftUI Group lab, Curt and Taylor spoke to this specifically related to use of color in liquid glass SwiftUI views and that use of color should be limited. However, they didn’t speak to how to put color back into List View outline disclosure carets that aren’t there in new iOS/iPad OS 26.
I would still like to know if I can add color back into the carets.
Here was my group lab question that was discussed: “I’ve noticed with the new design language, SwiftUI views appear to not use color as much. Example, color modifiers for List View items like carets.
