LiquidGlass for .NET

iOS 26-style refracting glass drawn on a SkiaSharp SKCanvas by the same production shaders as LiquidGlass for Compose: the measured material, the lens, and the tab bar selector with its motion. No Compose, browser or JavaScript.

  • LiquidGlass: GlassPainter and the tab bar selector, for any SkiaSharp host (.NET 8).
  • LiquidGlass.WinForms: glass over native Windows Forms controls (.NET 10, Windows 10 19041+).
  • LiquidGlass.Wpf: glass over native WPF content, drawn into a WriteableBitmap (.NET 10, Windows 10 19041+).
  • LiquidGlass.Avalonia: glass over native Avalonia 12 content on Windows, macOS and Linux (.NET 8).
  • LiquidGlass.Maui: a GlassSurface view over your own .NET MAUI content on Android and Windows (.NET 10). iOS is not a target.
using LiquidGlass.Skia;
using SkiaSharp;

// One painter per rendering thread or context.
using var glass = new GlassPainter();
glass.SetSource(backdropImage);   // the page behind the glass: an opaque sRGB SKImage you own

// Draw the page first, then the glass over it. Bounds are in backdrop pixels.
glass.DrawLens(canvas, SKRect.Create(360, 50, 180, 180), magnification: 1.4f);
glass.DrawSurface(canvas, SKRect.Create(30, 260, 300, 100), radius: 24,
    options: new(Dark: true, TintAmount: 50, Density: 1));
// Then draw ordinary labels: they keep their host layout and accessibility.

On Linux, add SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux and install fontconfig and a font.

The shaders are embedded in the assembly; nothing is fetched at runtime. Optical constants are measured from iOS 26 recordings; motion parameters are authored. The research record says which is which: https://liquidglass.shayxo.dev/research/.
