liquid glass layers

Liquid Glass is a significant new design element introduced by Apple, which creates a flexible and dynamic layer in apps and system experiences across Apple's ecosystem. It is designed to make the experience of apps feel more organic, immersive, and fluid. Liquid Glass is composed of multiple layers that work together to give it a unique look, adapting to its size and environment to ensure legibility and clear separation from the content layer.

Key features of Liquid Glass include:

• Dynamic Adaptation: Liquid Glass adapts automatically across different contexts and platforms, maintaining visual clarity and deferring to the content underneath. It changes subtly to ensure legibility and separation from the content layer.
• Layered Design: It consists of various layers, such as highlights and shadows, which respond to geometry and device motion, making it feel aware of its position in the real world.
• Variants: There are two variants of Liquid Glass—regular and clear. The regular variant is versatile and adaptive, while the clear variant is more transparent, allowing the richness of the content behind it to show through.
• Interaction and Feedback: Liquid Glass elements illuminate from within as a form of feedback, interacting with the flexible properties of the material in a natural and fluid way.
