Glassmorphic List Template

A modern list template styled with the popular "Glassmorphism" UI design.

This component creates a "frosted glass" effect by using a translucent background, a subtle border, and a CSS backdrop filter to blur the content behind it.

A list of card-like items with a frosted glass effect sitting on a colorful background.

About this Template

Glassmorphism creates a sense of depth and hierarchy by making elements look like they are pieces of frosted glass floating over a background. This template applies the effect to a card-based list. The core of the effect is the CSS backdrop-filter property with a blur() function. For this effect to be visible, the list item's background must be semi-transparent, and there must be a visually distinct background behind the entire component.

Features

Frosted Glass Effect: Uses the backdrop-filter property for the core effect.
Colorful Backdrop: Includes a simple, decorative background with colored shapes to effectively showcase the glass effect.
Card-Based Grid: Arranges list items into a clean, responsive grid layout.
Self-Contained Code: All CSS is scoped within the .glassmorphic-list-template parent class to prevent style conflicts.

Code Breakdown

The structure consists of a main wrapper, .glassmorphic-list-template, which contains a decorative background and the list container. The decorative background is created with absolutely positioned div elements.

The list itself is a ul with a class of .glass-list. The list items, with the class .glass-item, are where the effect is applied. They have a semi-transparent background color (e.g., rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.25)), a light border, and the following: backdrop-filter: blur(10px). This tells the browser to blur whatever content is visible behind the element.
