?Frequently Asked Questions
What is 'Glassmorphism'?
Glassmorphism is a UI design trend characterized by semi-transparent backgrounds with a `backdrop-filter: blur()`. It creates the illusion of frosted glass, allowing the content behind the element to subtly show through.
Why is my `backdrop-filter` not working?
The most common reason `backdrop-filter` fails is that the element's background is completely opaque. You MUST use a semi-transparent background (like `rgba(255,255,255, 0.5)`) so the filter has something behind it to blur.
Do CSS filters affect page performance?
Yes. Heavy use of filters (especially large blurs or SVG filters) requires significant GPU processing. Excessive use can cause lag, especially on low-end mobile devices. Use them sparingly on large areas.
