The Glass Effect in Droip allows you to create a translucent and depth-rich glass-like look for your design.
This effect is perfect for designing sleek interfaces, adding depth to cards and navigation, or giving your site an Apple-style premium touch.
Where to Use Glass Effect
Cards: Glass product/feature cards in a grid.
Navigation Bars / Headers: Frosted navigation bar that blurs background content on scroll.
Modals & Popups: Keep focus on content while still revealing context behind.
Hero Sections: Add depth and sophistication to landing page highlights.
Background Overlays: Semi-transparent overlays that keep the background visible.
How to Apply Glass Effect
Select the Element: Choose the component on your canvas on which you want the glass effect
Remove or Soften Background: Set the background to none or lower the opacity.
Enable Glass: Go to Right Sidebar > Effects > Filters > Glass.
Adjust Glass Settings:
Refraction: Controls how much the background behind the glass bends or distorts. Higher values create a more liquid-like feel.
Depth: Defines how “thick” the glass appears, adding dimensionality.
Dispersion: Adjusts color splitting, giving a subtle prism effect.
Blur: Controls background blur intensity, from sharp to heavily frosted.
Light, Angle, Depth (lighting controls): Fine-tune how light interacts with the glass surface, adding realism.
Preview & Fine-Tune: Adjust sliders while checking against your background image, gradient, or texture.
Example Use Case: Frosted Cards
Goal: Create elegant translucent cards that blur content behind them.
Steps:
Prepare the background: Ensure the section behind the card has visual detail (image, gradient, video). Avoid flat, solid colors behind the card.
Add the card: Insert a Div inside your section/grid and resize the div. Add text/icons inside the card as needed.
💡 Note: Keep the card above the background you want to blur. To do that, set the position to absolute and adjust the z-index value.
Remove Card background: Remove the background of the card or set the opacity to 0.
Enable Glass: Select the card > Right Sidebar > Effects > Filters > Glass.
Adjust the values until you get the desired effect.
Tips for Best Results
To make the glass actually look like glass:
Element Background: Use no or low-opacity background. Solid fills block the glass effect.
Content Behind Glass: Use textured or detailed backgrounds. Pure white/black or fully opaque overlays weaken the effect.
Layering: Glass elements should sit above the content you want to blur (position absolute, high z-index).
Performance: Large or full-bleed glass sections may impact scroll performance. Prefer glass on cards/components instead of entire sections.
