Acrylic Effect

Controls the acrylic (frosted glass) effect used by major surfaces (e.g. cards, navigation).

Where to configure

Set in hugo.toml at your site root:

[params.theme]
  # Note: Default acrylic opacity (percentage).
  # Range: number between 0 and 95.
  # Higher = more opaque; lower = more transparent.
  defaultGlassStrength = 45

Settings panel controls

The appearance tab in the settings panel provides three sliders:

1. Opacity (settingsPanelGlassRangeLabel): Controls how transparent the acrylic surfaces are. Range: 0%–95%, default: defaultGlassStrength.
2. Blur radius (settingsPanelGlassBlurLabel): Controls the strength of the backdrop blur. Range: 0px–48px, default: 24px.
3. Background blur (settingsPanelBackgroundBlurLabel): Controls the blur applied to the custom background image. Range: 0px–40px, default: 0px.

Readers can adjust all three in real time, and their choices are saved locally.

Priority rules

1. User adjustment: readers can change both values in the settings panel; the saved values take highest priority.
2. Site config: for new visitors, defaultGlassStrength is used as the initial opacity value.
