iOS26 Safari theme-color/tab-tinting with fixed position elements is a mess

Read Original

The article details a bug in iOS26 Safari where the theme-color meta tag and tab-tinting functionality fail when a page contains fixed-position elements (e.g., popovers or dialogs). The browser incorrectly uses the background color of these elements to tint the top and bottom areas, instead of the intended body or theme color. The author describes the issue, a failed workaround, and links to the related WebKit bug report, which is now marked as resolved, suggesting a fix may arrive in a future iOS update.
