Liquid Glass is a new material introduced by Apple that enhances the user interface by providing a dynamic and fluid interaction experience. It is designed to respond to user interactions and environmental changes in a way that feels natural and intuitive. When it comes to sheets, Liquid Glass plays a significant role in how they respond and interact with the user interface.
Sheets respond to Liquid Glass by creating a clear and purposeful space that centers attention. When a sheet appears, Liquid Glass can be paired with a dimming layer to signal modality, making the sheet feel distinct and focused. If a task happens in parallel, Liquid Glass helps maintain clarity without disrupting the flow. As focus shifts, such as when dragging a sheet upward, Liquid Glass subtly recedes, becoming more opaque and gently growing in size to signal a deeper level of engagement. This behavior helps reinforce the intent and interaction depth as navigation shifts or deepens.
