 # SwiftUI Liquid Glass
 
-Liquid Glass is the dynamic translucent material introduced in iOS 26 (and iPadOS 26,
-macOS 26, tvOS 26, watchOS 26). It blurs content behind it, reflects surrounding color
-and light, and reacts to touch and pointer interactions. Standard SwiftUI components
-(tab bars, toolbars, navigation bars, sheets) adopt Liquid Glass automatically when
-built with the iOS 26 SDK. Use the APIs below for custom views and controls.
+Apple's 26 releases (iOS and iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS) introduced a new
+material called Liquid Glass. It blurs what lies behind it, picks up color and light
+from its surroundings, and responds to touch and pointer input.
 
-See [references/liquid-glass.md](references/liquid-glass.md) for the full API reference with additional examples.

+System chrome gets it for free: once an app compiles against the 26 SDK, its
+tab bars, toolbars, navigation bars and sheets are glass already. The APIs below are for your own
+views and controls. Full signatures, conformances, performance and
+accessibility notes are in [references/liquid-glass.md](references/liquid-glass.md).
 
 ## Workflow
 
-Choose the path that matches the request:
+### 1. Implement a new feature
 
-### 1. Implement a new feature with Liquid Glass
+1. List which surfaces should become glass (cards, chips, floating controls,
+   bars you draw yourself).
+2. For each one, decide the shape, how prominent it is, and whether it is
+   interactive.
+3. Put glass elements that sit together inside one `GlassEffectContainer`.
+4. Add `.glassEffect()` once padding, frame and styling are in place.
+5. Add `.interactive()` only to elements that can be tapped or focused.
+6. Where elements appear, disappear or rearrange with animation, give them
+   `glassEffectID(_:in:)` so they morph.
+7. Wrap all of it in an `#available(iOS 26, *)` check, with a fallback look.
 
-1. Identify target surfaces (cards, chips, floating controls, custom bars).
-2. Decide shape, prominence, and whether each element needs interactivity.
-3. Wrap grouped glass elements in a `GlassEffectContainer`.
-4. Apply `.glassEffect()` **after** layout and appearance modifiers.
-5. Add `.interactive()` only to tappable/focusable elements.
-6. Add morphing transitions with `glassEffectID(_:in:)` where the view hierarchy
-   changes with animation.
-7. Gate with `if #available(iOS 26, *)` and provide a fallback for earlier versions.
+### 2. Improve an existing feature
 
-### 2. Improve an existing feature with Liquid Glass
+1. Swap hand-built blur or material backgrounds for `.glassEffect()`.
+2. Group sibling glass elements in a container, which both blends them and
+   renders them together.
+3. Buttons that imitate glass by hand become `.buttonStyle(.glass)` or
+   `.buttonStyle(.glassProminent)`.
+4. Wherever items animate in or out, add morphing.
 
-1. Find custom blur/material backgrounds that can be replaced with `.glassEffect()`.
-2. Wrap sibling glass elements in `GlassEffectContainer` for blending and performance.
-3. Replace custom glass-like buttons with `.buttonStyle(.glass)` or `.buttonStyle(.glassProminent)`.
-4. Add morphing transitions where animated insertion/removal occurs.
+### 3. Review
 
-### 3. Review existing Liquid Glass usage
+Go through the checklist below, item by item.
 
-Run through the Review Checklist below and verify each item.

-## Core API Summary
+## Core API summary
 
 ### glassEffect(_:in:)
 
-Applies Liquid Glass behind a view. Default: `.regular` variant in a `Capsule` shape.
+A `nonisolated` view modifier taking a `Glass` value (default `.regular`) and a shape (default
+`DefaultGlassEffectShape()`, a capsule). Called bare, it gives regular glass in
+a capsule.
 
-```swift
-nonisolated func glassEffect(
-    _ glass: Glass = .regular,
-    in shape: some Shape = DefaultGlassEffectShape()
-) -> some View
-```
+### Glass
 
-### Glass struct
+| Variant | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `.regular` | The standard material |
+| `.clear` | Lighter, with minimal tint, for use over rich media |
+| `.identity` | No effect at all; useful for switching glass off conditionally |
 
-| Property / Method | Purpose |
-|---|---|
-| `.regular` | Standard glass material |
-| `.clear` | Clear variant (minimal tint) |
-| `.identity` | No visual effect (pass-through) |
-| `.tint(_:)` | Add a color tint for prominence |
-| `.interactive(_:)` | React to touch and pointer interactions |
+Modifiers return a new `Glass` and chain: `.tint(_:)` adds color for
+prominence, `.interactive(_:)` makes it respond to touch and pointer.
 
-Chain them: `.regular.tint(.blue).interactive()`
+```swift
+.glassEffect(.regular.tint(.teal).interactive())
+```
 
 ### GlassEffectContainer
 
-Wraps multiple glass views for shared rendering, blending, and morphing.
+`GlassEffectContainer(spacing:)` lets its children share one rendering pass, so
+they can blend into each other and morph between shapes.
 
-```swift
-GlassEffectContainer(spacing: 24) {
-    // child views with .glassEffect()
-}
-```
+`spacing` is the distance at which neighbouring shapes start to blend. Set it
+equal to or larger than the spacing of the layout inside, so shapes merge while
+they move but stay separate at rest.
 
-The `spacing` controls when nearby glass shapes begin to blend. Match or exceed
-the interior layout spacing so shapes merge during animated transitions but remain
-separate at rest.
+### Morphing and transitions
 
-### Morphing & Transitions
+| API | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `glassEffectID(_:in:)` | Names a shape within a namespace so animation can morph it |
+| `glassEffectUnion(id:namespace:)` | Several views drawn as one combined glass shape |
+| `glassEffectTransition(_:)` | How glass appears and disappears |
 
-| Modifier | Purpose |
-|---|---|
-| `glassEffectID(_:in:)` | Stable identity for morphing during view hierarchy changes |
-| `glassEffectUnion(id:namespace:)` | Merge multiple views into one glass shape |
-| `glassEffectTransition(_:)` | Control how glass appears/disappears |
+`GlassEffectTransition` values:
 
-Transition types: `.matchedGeometry` (default when within spacing), `.materialize`
-(fade content + animate glass in/out), `.identity` (no transition).
+- `.matchedGeometry`: morph into or out of a nearby shape (the default when
+  shapes are within the container's spacing).
+- `.materialize`: fade the content and animate the glass in or out, without
+  matching geometry.
+- `.identity`: no transition.
 
-### Button Styles
+### Button styles
 
 ```swift
-Button("Action") { }
-    .buttonStyle(.glass)           // standard glass button
+Button("Send", systemImage: "paperplane") { send() }
+    .buttonStyle(.glass)
 
-Button("Primary") { }
-    .buttonStyle(.glassProminent)  // prominent glass button
+Button("Book now") { book() }
+    .buttonStyle(.glassProminent)
 ```
 
-### Scroll Edge Effects and Background Extension (iOS 26+)
-
-These complement Liquid Glass when building custom toolbars and scroll views:
+### Edge effects and extended backgrounds (iOS 26+)
 
 ```swift
-ScrollView {
-    content
-}
-.scrollEdgeEffectStyle(.soft, for: .top)  // Configures edge effect at scroll boundaries
-
-// Duplicate view into mirrored copies at safe area edges with blur (e.g., under sidebars)
-content
-    .backgroundExtensionEffect()
+ScrollView { feed }
+    .scrollEdgeEffectStyle(.soft, for: .top)
 ```
 
-### ToolbarSpacer (iOS 26+)
+`.scrollEdgeEffectStyle(_:for:)` sets how content fades or cuts off where it
+meets a floating bar at a scroll edge.
 
-Creates a visual break between items in toolbars:
+`.backgroundExtensionEffect()` extends a view past the safe area by drawing
+mirrored, blurred copies of it at the edges. A hero image in a split view's
+detail column can then continue underneath the sidebar.
+
+### ToolbarSpacer (iOS 26+)
 
 ```swift
 .toolbar {
-    ToolbarItem { Button("Edit") { } }
+    ToolbarItem { Button("Revert", systemImage: "clock.arrow.circlepath") { revert() } }
     ToolbarSpacer(.fixed)
-    ToolbarItem { Button("Share") { } }
+    ToolbarItem { Button("Done") { finish() } }
 }
 ```
 
-## Code Examples
+A fixed spacer splits the items into separate glass groups.
 
-### Basic glass effect with availability gate
+## Code examples
+
+### A gated glass card
 
 ```swift
-if #available(iOS 26, *) {
-    Text("Status")
-        .padding()
-        .glassEffect(.regular.interactive(), in: .rect(cornerRadius: 16))
-} else {
-    Text("Status")
-        .padding()
-        .background(.ultraThinMaterial, in: RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 16))
-}
-```
+struct StatusCard: View {
+    let title: String
 
-### Grouped glass elements in a container
+    var body: some View {
+        let label = Text(title).font(.headline).padding(20)
 
-```swift
-GlassEffectContainer(spacing: 24) {
-    HStack(spacing: 24) {
-        ForEach(tools) { tool in
-            Image(systemName: tool.icon)
-                .frame(width: 56, height: 56)
-                .glassEffect(.regular.interactive())
+        if #available(iOS 26, *) {
+            let tappable = Glass.regular.interactive()
+            label.glassEffect(tappable, in: .rect(cornerRadius: 18))
+        } else {
+            label.background(.ultraThinMaterial, in: RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 18))
         }
     }
 }
 ```
 
-### Morphing transition
+### A row of glass controls
+
+Container spacing matches the stack spacing so the circles blend only when they
+move toward each other.
 
 ```swift
-@State private var isExpanded = false
-@Namespace private var ns
-
-var body: some View {
-    GlassEffectContainer(spacing: 40) {
-        HStack(spacing: 40) {
-            Image(systemName: "pencil")
-                .frame(width: 80, height: 80)
-                .glassEffect()
-                .glassEffectID("pencil", in: ns)

-                    .frame(width: 80, height: 80)
-                    .glassEffect()
-                    .glassEffectID("eraser", in: ns)
+@available(iOS 26, *)
+struct PlaybackControls: View {
+    private let symbols = ["backward.fill", "play.fill", "forward.fill"]
+    private let gap: CGFloat = 20
+
+    var body: some View {
+        GlassEffectContainer(spacing: gap) {
+            HStack(spacing: gap) {
+                ForEach(symbols, id: \.self) { symbol in
+                    Image(systemName: symbol)
+                        .font(.title2)
+                        .frame(width: 60, height: 60)
+                        .glassEffect(.regular.interactive())
+                }
             }
         }
     }

-## Common Mistakes
+Chips 0 and 1 render as one glass shape and chips 2 and 3 as another.
 
-### DON'T: Apply Liquid Glass to every surface
-
-Overuse distracts from content. Glass should emphasize key interactive elements, not decorate everything.
+### A tinted badge
 
 ```swift
-// WRONG: Glass on everything
-VStack {
-    Text("Title").glassEffect()
-    Text("Subtitle").glassEffect()
-    Divider().glassEffect()
-    Text("Body").glassEffect()
-}
-
-// CORRECT: Glass on primary interactive elements only
-VStack {
-    Text("Title").font(.title)
-    Text("Subtitle").font(.subheadline)
-    Divider()
-    Text("Body")
-}
-.padding()
-.glassEffect()
-```
-
-### DON'T: Nest GlassEffectContainer inside another
-
-Nested containers cause undefined rendering behavior.
+@available(iOS 26, *)
+struct CountBadge: View {
+    let count: Int
+    let accent: Color
 
-```swift
-// WRONG
-GlassEffectContainer {
-    GlassEffectContainer {
-        content.glassEffect()
+    var body: some View {
+        Text(count, format: .number)
+            .font(.caption.bold())
+            .padding(.horizontal, 10)
+            .padding(.vertical, 4)
+            .glassEffect(.regular.tint(accent), in: .rect(cornerRadius: 10))
     }
 }
-
-// CORRECT: Single container wrapping all glass views
-GlassEffectContainer {
-    content.glassEffect()
-}
-```
-
-### DON'T: Add .interactive() to non-interactive elements
-
-`.interactive()` adds visual affordance suggesting tappability. Using it on decorative glass misleads users.
-
-### DON'T: Apply .glassEffect() before layout modifiers
-
-Glass calculates its shape from the final frame. Applying it before padding/frame produces incorrect bounds.
-
-```swift
-// WRONG: Glass applied before padding
-Text("Label").glassEffect().padding()
-
-// CORRECT: Glass applied after layout
-Text("Label").padding().glassEffect()
 ```
 
-### DON'T: Forget accessibility testing
-
-Always test with Reduce Transparency and Reduce Motion enabled. Glass degrades gracefully but verify content remains readable.
-
-### DON'T: Skip availability checks
-
-Liquid Glass requires iOS 26+. Gate with `if #available(iOS 26, *)` and provide a fallback.
-
-## Review Checklist
-
-- [ ] **Availability**: `if #available(iOS 26, *)` present with fallback UI.
-- [ ] **Container**: Multiple glass views wrapped in `GlassEffectContainer`.
-- [ ] **Modifier order**: `.glassEffect()` applied after layout/appearance modifiers.
-- [ ] **Interactivity**: `.interactive()` used only where user interaction exists.
-- [ ] **Transitions**: `glassEffectID` used with `@Namespace` for morphing animations.
-- [ ] **Transition type**: `.matchedGeometry` for nearby effects; `.materialize` for distant ones.
-- [ ] **Consistency**: Shapes, tints, and spacing are uniform across related elements.
-- [ ] **Performance**: Glass effects are limited in number; container used for grouping.
-- [ ] **Accessibility**: Tested with Reduce Transparency and Reduce Motion enabled.
-- [ ] **Button styles**: Standard `.glass` / `.glassProminent` used for buttons.
-- [ ] Ensure types driving Liquid Glass effects are Sendable; apply glass effects on @MainActor context
+## Common mistakes
+
+1. **Glass everywhere.** Too much glass competes for attention. Put it on the
+   key interactive elements; for a padded group of labels, use one glass
+   surface for the group, not one per label.
+2. **Nested containers.** A `GlassEffectContainer` inside another gives
+   undefined rendering. Use one container per group.
+3. **`.interactive()` on decoration.** It tells the user the element can be
+   pressed. Leave it off anything that cannot.
+4. **Glass before padding or frame.** The effect sizes its shape from the
+   frame at the point where it is applied; add it before `.padding()` or
+   `.frame()` and the shape comes out too small.
+5. **Skipping accessibility settings.** Turn on Reduce Transparency, then
+   Reduce Motion, and confirm text stays readable in each.
+6. **No availability gate.** Every one of these APIs needs iOS 26. Gate it and
+   give older systems a fallback.
+
+## Review checklist
+
+- [ ] `#available(iOS 26, *)` gate with a fallback
+- [ ] Multiple glass views grouped in a `GlassEffectContainer`
+- [ ] `.glassEffect()` placed after layout and appearance modifiers
+- [ ] `.interactive()` only where the user can interact
+- [ ] `glassEffectID` paired with a `@Namespace` for morphing
+- [ ] `.matchedGeometry` for nearby shapes, `.materialize` for distant ones
+- [ ] Related elements share shapes, tints and spacing
+- [ ] Glass kept to a small number of surfaces, grouped by containers
+- [ ] Checked once with Reduce Transparency on and once with Reduce Motion on
+- [ ] Buttons use `.glass` or `.glassProminent` rather than hand-built glass
+- [ ] Values that drive glass (IDs, tints) are `Sendable`, and the effects are applied from main-actor view code
