To make a toolbar item have a background color with the new Liquid Glass, you can use the prominent style and the background tint color property. This approach is discussed in the session "Build an AppKit app with the new design" at Build an AppKit app with the new design (00:03:34). The prominent style tints the glass using the accent color, which is perfect for displaying state or emphasizing an important action. You can further customize the appearance by choosing a specific color for the glass using the background tint color property.
