Pull request overview
Updates the All Podcasts grid’s bottom treatment under iOS 26 “Liquid Glass” to prevent the floating tab bar / mini player from becoming visually “washed out” over colorful artwork by introducing a spacing gap and a progressive fade-to-background overlay.
Changes:
- Tuned
ProgressiveFadeView’s gradient ramp and alpha stops for a softer, earlier fade. - Reworked
PodcastListViewController’s bottom fade behavior to add bottom spacing, install a fade overlay, and toggle it based on iOS version + idiom/traits. - Added a changelog entry documenting the Liquid Glass grid readability fix.

Under Liquid Glass on iOS 26, the floating tab bar / mini player turned gray/dark over the All Podcasts grid because the system scroll edge effect washes out over the colorful artwork.
Leaving a full gap with no content at the bottom of the grid (plus a soft fade into the background) seems to solve it — no guarantee, but it holds up in my testing. Visually it looks about the same as before, and the collapsed tab bar state is a bit improved.
To test
Before, the bar sometimes turning gray due to dynamic sampling
