   separate entry, so `ActivityLayout` never pulls it in: import it where you
   build the `backdrop`, and its `backgrounds.css` once.

+### Shapes of an `ActivityLayout` `backdrop` run behind the text of the chrome or a list
+
+**When:** with `backdrop`, a breadcrumb, a tabs strip, a table or the sidebar
+shows the shapes through it, or you set a translucent colour and they come back.
+**Why:** under `data-backdrop` those surfaces take `--nxgt-backdrop-chrome` (default
+`var(--background)`) and `--nxgt-backdrop-surface` (default `var(--card)`); before
+3.7.2 they had no surface or a translucent one, and a custom `className` with its
+own `bg-*` on a list wins over the token.
+**Fix:** update `@nxgt/material`, and give the tokens opaque colours; drop a
+`bg-*/NN` class from the list's `className`.
+
+```tsx
+<ActivityLayout backdrop={<Background preset="shapes" />} className="[--nxgt-backdrop-surface:var(--background)]" />

 ### A ResponsiveButton no longer shows its tooltip next to its visible label
