Background
Liquid Glass
Live liquid glass: a glass slab under the content refracts the drifting background — at the edges the image bends with chromatic fringing and a highlight runs along the rim. GPU-rendered, zero dependencies. For a first screen with a card, a form or a product panel.
React + Tailwind, shadcn-compatible: press “Copy for AI” and your Cursor or Claude Code agent installs it with the shadcn CLI.
What you can change
- speed — still, calm or lively; still draws a single frame with no loop
- intensity — faint, soft or bright: the accent strength; soft by default so the background does not fight the content
- frost — clear or frosted: transparent or frosted glass
A link for your AI agent: preview, code and instructions.

FAQ
- How do I add Liquid Glass with Cursor or Claude Code?
- Press “Copy for AI” on this page and paste it into your agent's chat. The instruction contains the shadcn CLI install command, the dependencies and what to keep, so the agent installs this exact component instead of recreating a lookalike.
- What does Liquid Glass depend on?
- No npm packages beyond React and Tailwind CSS.
- What can I change in Liquid Glass?
- Adapt: speed — still, calm or lively; still draws a single frame with no loop; intensity — faint, soft or bright: the accent strength; soft by default so the background does not fight the content; frost — clear or frosted: transparent or frosted glass. Keep as installed: the imports from @/components/vibeui/ — do not inline their code into the block or swap in your own; the parts receive props only; the local --vibeui-surface-009-* palette — do not swap it for your theme tokens; the canvas resolution chosen for this effect — higher is invisible to the eye, lower breaks the picture.
- Is Liquid Glass free?
- Yes. The preview is open without an account; with a free account you can copy up to 20 components a month.
For developers
npx shadcn@latest add https://vibeui.club/r/pro/surface-009.jsonThis command needs a signed link: sign in and open “Component source” below — it issues a working link valid for 30 minutes. All install options
Technical notes
A composite block: imports from @/components/vibeui/ — the install command brings them along with the block. The block owns the layout and its own text, passes the parts props only and leaves their --vibeui-<name>-* palettes alone. One file, zero npm dependencies, "use client". A WebGL2 fragment shader on a single triangle. The palette is CSS variables with light-dark; the shader reads them through the canvas computed border-color, so theme, accent and colors work identically for the canvas and the CSS fallback. Paused outside the viewport and in a hidden tab (IntersectionObserver, visibilitychange), prefers-reduced-motion and speed=still draw a single frame, without WebGL2 the radial-gradient fallback stays. Theme switches are caught by a MutationObserver on <html>. Palette --vibeui-surface-009-*.
