Description

Translucent panels that pick up what sits behind them — blur, tint, a bright specular edge and real refraction at the rounded corners. Depth comes from stacked glass, not from shadows.

Custom Style Items

Glass Opacity
White panels at 8–16% opacity over saturated ground.
Edge Refraction
Refract and bend the background at every rounded corner.
Panel Highlighting
Bright 1px inner top-edge highlight; darker inner bottom line; top-left specular sweep.
Layered Blur
Slightly overlap unequal panels with visibly different blur depths.
Content Legibility
Content remains fully opaque; use a dark inner scrim beneath low-contrast text.
Press Response
On press, panels scale slightly and deepen blur; sheets slide upward with visible ground refraction.
