I’d love to see Anki support Liquid Glass effects in the interface — dynamic, fluid, glass-like surfaces with refraction, light distortion, and soft motion. It could be used on windows, panels, or dialogs, and ideally toggled on or off…

Which OS/platform are you requesting this for?

Liquid Glass is a new feature in iOS 26 so it’s available on both macOS and AnkiMobile, I think it’s in the process of being discussed in this GitHub issue. MacOS app icon not compatible with icon styles #4340
