Properties
.glass {
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1);
backdrop-filter: blur(20px);
border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.15);
border-radius: 16px;
}
When It Works
- Overlays on colorful or photographic backgrounds.
- Navigation bars over content.
- Card overlays on media.
- Modal backgrounds.
When It Doesn't
- On solid color backgrounds (nothing to blur = no effect).
- Dense text content (readability suffers).
- Low-end devices (backdrop-filter is expensive).
Performance
backdrop-filteris GPU-intensive.- Provide fallback: solid semi-transparent background.
- Test on older devices.
- Limit the area affected (don't blur the entire viewport).
Accessibility
- Ensure text contrast meets WCAG even with blur.
- Test with blur disabled (graceful degradation).
- High-contrast mode should override glass effects.
