Summary: Glassmorphism is a UI design trend that features translucent interface components to create depth.



Glassmorphism is a visual-design trend gaining popularity since 2020 and is prominent in Apple and Microsoft's design systems. Glassmorphic elements look like frosted glass. Thoughtful use of glassmorphism can help designers effectively establish visual hierarchy and depth. However, without a solid grasp of visual-design principles or if overused, glassmorphism can pose significant accessibility and usability challenges.
