# Liquid Glass Effect in .NET MAUI Backdrop Page (SfBackdropPage)
1111

12-
The [SfBackdropPage](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/maui/Syncfusion.Maui.Backdrop.SfBackdropPage.html) supports a liquid glass appearance on both layers. Enable the effect directly on the [BackdropBackLayer](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/maui/Syncfusion.Maui.Backdrop.BackdropBackLayer.html) and [BackdropFrontLayer](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/maui/Syncfusion.Maui.Backdrop.BackdropFrontLayer.html) by setting their [EnableLiquidGlassEffect]() properties to true. This improves visual depth and readability when the backdrop layers are placed over images or colorful layouts.
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 .NET MAUI Backdrop Page's Front or Back layer.

* Liquid Glass effects are most visible over images or colorful backgrounds.
155-
* You can enable the effect independently on either the back layer, the front layer, or both as needed.
156-
157-
## Best Practices and Tips
158-
159-
- The back and front layers use built-in acrylic when their [EnableLiquidGlassEffect]() property is true.
160-
- Place imagery or vibrant backgrounds beneath the layer surface to see the blur clearly.
161-
- Combine with existing layout properties (RevealedHeight, EdgeShape, etc.) to achieve the desired design while using the effect.
162-
163-
The following screenshots illustrate the back and front layers with the liquid glass effect enabled over colorful backgrounds.
38+
* Supported on `macOS 26 or higher` and `iOS 26 or higher`.
39+
* This feature is available only in `.NET 10.`

The [SfCalendar](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/maui/Syncfusion.Maui.Calendar.SfCalendar.html) supports a liquid glass appearance by hosting the control inside the Syncfusion [SfGlassEffectsView](). You can customize the effect using properties such as [EffectType](), [EnableShadowEffect](), and round the corners using [CornerRadius](). This approach improves visual depth and readability when the calendar is placed over images or colorful layouts.
