1	# Liquid Glass Design
2
3	Implement Apple's Liquid Glass design language across all Apple UI frameworks. Covers SwiftUI (`.glassEffect()`), AppKit (`NSGlassEffectView`), UIKit (`UIGlassEffect` + `UIVisualEffectView`), and WidgetKit (rendering modes, accented content, glass elements in widgets).
4
5	## When This Skill Activates
6
7	- User wants glass/blur effects on views
8	- User asks about Liquid Glass or modern Apple design
9	- User needs transparent, interactive UI elements
10	- User wants morphing transitions between views
11	- User is implementing glass effects in UIKit with `UIVisualEffectView`
12	- User needs `UIGlassEffect` or `UIGlassContainerEffect`
13	- User asks about scroll view edge effects in UIKit
14	- User wants Liquid Glass in widgets (WidgetKit)
15	- User needs to support accented rendering mode in widgets
16	- User asks about widget textures or mounting styles on visionOS
17
18	## Design Rules (WWDC25)
19
20	Liquid Glass is the material of the navigation layer — bars, toolbars, floating controls — never the content layer (tables, lists, rows in a scroll view).
21
22	\| Rule \| Detail \|
23	\|------\|--------\|
24	\| Never glass on glass \| Don't stack glass. Elements sitting ON glass don't get the material again — style them with fills and vibrancy. \|
25	\| Two variants — never mix them \| Regular (default): works at any size, over anything, with adaptive legibility. Clear: only when ALL three hold — media-rich content underneath, a dimming layer is acceptable, and bold bright content sits above. Clear has no adaptive behaviors. One variant per interface. \|
26	\| Tint only primary actions \| "When every element is tinted, nothing stands out." \|
27	\| No steady-state intersections \| In resting layouts, content shouldn't sit half-under a glass element — reposition or scale the content instead. \|
28	\| Strip decorated bars \| Remove customized bar backgrounds and borders; build hierarchy through layout and grouping, not decoration. Never group a symbol with a text label in one toolbar group. Action sheets spring from their source element. \|
29
30	Scroll edge effects keep floating elements separated from scrolling content: soft (gradual fade — the iOS default) vs hard (denser, with a dividing line — mostly macOS). One per view edge, and they're not decorative — don't add one where no floating UI elements exist.
31
32	Shape system — let containers do the math:
33
34	\| Shape \| Radius \| Use \|
35	\|-------\|--------\|-----\|
36	\| Fixed \| Constant \| Standalone elements \|
37	\| Capsule \| Half the element height \| Phone-scale controls — add extra margin from the screen edge \|
38	\| Concentric \| Parent radius minus padding \| Nested containers (inner radii auto-calculate); iPad/Mac elements concentric with the window edge \|
39
40	Accessibility comes free at the system level: Reduced Motion decreases lensing and elastic effects; Increased Contrast renders glass elements black/white with a contrasting border. (Lensing is how glass appears — it materializes by modulating how it bends light, and adaptive shadows flip small elements light/dark for legibility over any content.)
41
42	## Quick Start (SwiftUI)
43
44	### Basic Glass Effect
45
46	```swift
47	import SwiftUI
48
49	Text("Hello, World!")
50	.font(.title)
51	.padding()
52	.glassEffect() // Capsule shape by default
53	```
54
55	### Custom Shape
56
57	```swift
58	Text("Hello")
59	.padding()
60	.glassEffect(in: .rect(cornerRadius: 16))
61
62	// Available shapes:
63	// .capsule (default)
64	// .rect(cornerRadius: CGFloat)
65	// .rect(corner: .containerConcentric) — radius derived from the container, keeps nested shapes concentric
66	// .circle
67	```
68
69	### Interactive Glass
70
71	```swift
72	Button("Tap Me") {
73	// action
74	}
75	.padding()
76	.glassEffect(.regular.interactive())
77	```
78
79	### Tinted Glass
80
81	```swift
82	Text("Important")
83	.padding()
84	.glassEffect(.regular.tint(.blue))
85	```
86
87	## Glass Configuration Options
88
89	\| Option \| Description \| Example \|
90	\|--------\|-------------\|---------\|
91	\| `.regular` \| Standard glass effect \| `.glassEffect(.regular)` \|
92	\| `.tint(Color)` \| Add color tint \| `.glassEffect(.regular.tint(.orange))` \|
93	\| `.interactive()` \| Scale, bounce, and shimmer on touch/hover \| `.glassEffect(.regular.interactive())` \|
94
95	## Multiple Glass Effects
96
97	### GlassEffectContainer
98
99	When using multiple glass elements, wrap them in `GlassEffectContainer` for:
100	- Better rendering performance
101	- Proper blending between effects
102	- Morphing transitions
103
104	This is correctness, not just performance: glass can not sample other glass, so nearby glass elements must share ONE container to render and blend correctly.
105
106	```swift
107	GlassEffectContainer(spacing: 40.0) {
108	HStack(spacing: 40.0) {
109	Image(systemName: "star.fill")
110	.frame(width: 80, heigh
