The "glassbutton style" refers to a new design feature introduced by Apple, which uses a liquid glass material for buttons. This style replaces the standard button backing with a liquid glass material, making it ideal for buttons that need to float atop other content. The glass bezel style is compatible with the existing bezel color property, allowing the glass to be tinted with a provided color. This design system also introduces the concept of control prominence, which helps manage the visual weight of a button's tint color without overpowering other controls in the interface.
For more details on implementing this style in an AppKit app, you can refer to the session Build an AppKit app with the new design (17:30).
