You could try adjusting the edge effect using UIScrollEdgeEffect and specifying a different style. That said, starting in iOS 26, the recommendation is to reduce your use of custom backgrounds in navigation elements and controls. Any custom backgrounds and appearances you use in the navigation bar might overlay or interfere with Liquid Glass or other effects that the system provides, such as the scroll edge effect. To learn how to update your app to adopt Liquid Glass, see the following resources: Adopting Liquid Glass WWDC25 session 356: Get to know the new design system WWDC25 session 284: Build a UIKit app with the new design.
