Glass

Note: Images, videos and some instructions on this page may not be accurate. Please bear with us as we update the Docs for Sketch’s new UI.

The Glass effect gives a frosted-glass look, softly blurring what’s behind and letting background colors and shapes show through while keeping foreground content clear.

The Glass effect has two settings:

  • Auto: applies a standard frosted-glass appearance that closely matches what you’ll see in Apple’s operating systems.
  • Custom: gives you full control over the parameters that shape the effect. You can adjust:
    • Blur
    • Distortion
    • Depth
    • Chromatic aberration
    • Brightness
    • Saturation
    • Specular highlights

    To reset the brightness or saturation slider to its default value, double-click it.
