To make text appear on the topLeading toolbar in SwiftUI without showing the glass button effect, you can use the backgroundVisibility modifier to separate the item into its own group without a background. This approach is mentioned in the session "Build a SwiftUI app with the new design" where it discusses how to manage toolbar items and their visual effects.
Here's a brief explanation based on the session:
- Background Visibility Modifier: Apply the
backgroundVisibilitymodifier to your toolbar item to ensure it doesn't inherit the glass effect, which can make it look like a button. This modifier allows you to separate an item into its own group without a background, thus avoiding the glass effect.
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the session Build a SwiftUI app with the new design (08:46) where it discusses toolbars and their customization.
