Liquid Glass Support for .NET MAUI TabView

18 Dec 20251 minute to read

The SfTabView supports a liquid glass effect (also called acrylic or glass morphism) when you enable EnableLiquidGlassEffect. This feature applies a frosted, translucent style that blends seamlessly with the background, giving the Tab View a modern and elegant look. The effect is rendered dynamically during loading and user interaction, creating a subtle, responsive visual without changing the Tab View’s default structure. It works best over vibrant images or colorful layouts, enhancing depth and providing a stylish appearance to your application.

NOTE

  • This feature is supported only on .NET 10 along with iOS 26 and macOS 26 .
<Grid>
        <!-- Background to make the glass effect visible while pressing the Tab View  -->
        <Image Source="wallpaper.jpg" Aspect="AspectFill" />
        <tabview:SfTabView EnableLiquidGlassEffect="True" />
    </Grid>
SfTabView tabView = new SfTabView
{
    EnableLiquidGlassEffect = true
};

Behavior and tips

  • The glass effect is applied to the Tab View at render time and during user interaction.
  • Place the Tab View over visually rich content (images, gradients, or color blocks) to better showcase the transient glass effect.
  • Visual output and performance may vary by device/platform; keep backgrounds moderately detailed to maintain clarity during interaction.
