…lider The window is transparent and the app asks the compositor to blur what's behind it. Linux: reuse GTK's wl_display/wl_surface and bind either ext_background_effect_v1 (Plasma 6.7+, Niri) or org_kde_kwin_blur_manager (Plasma <= 6.6), re-requested on every show since GTK recreates the surface. Windows/macOS: window-vibrancy acrylic / vibrancy. GNOME falls back to the tint alone. Settings gain `glass` (0.3..1); a slider in Options applies it live and persists on release. Body, header, cards, onboarding and callouts take their opacity from the CSS variable. Preview: #glass=NN over a fake desktop gradient.

What
Real glass: transparent window + compositor blur behind it (KDE via
org_kde_kwin_blur_manager, Plasma 6.7+/Niri viaext_background_effect_v1, Windows acrylic, macOS vibrancy). Opacity slider in Settings → Opciones → Vidrio, live and persisted.Verified
glass: blur via org_kde_kwin_blur_manageron first show and on every re-show from the tray.
