| 10 | +# Liquid Glass Effect |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +The Liquid Glass Effect introduces a modern, translucent design with adaptive color tinting and light refraction, creating a sleek, glass like user experience that remains clear and accessible. This section explains how to enable and customize the effect in the Syncfusion® .NET MAUI Kanban Board (SfKanban) control. |

| 14 | +## Apply liquid glass effect |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +Follow these steps to enable and configure the Liquid Glass Effect in the Kanban control: |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +### Step 1: Enable the liquid glass effect on Kanban |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Set the `EnableLiquidGlassEffect` property to `true` in the `SfKanban` control to apply the Liquid Glass Effect. When enabled, the effect is also applied to its dependent controls and provides responsive interaction for a smooth and engaging user experience. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +### Step 2: Customize the background |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +To achieve a glass like background in Kanban, set the `Background` property to `Transparent` and use theme keys to style it, ensuring a consistent look and feel across your application. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +The following code snippet demonstrates how to apply the Liquid Glass Effect to the `Kanban` control: |
