Frost Effect in CSS

Hey fellow creators

How to create a glassomophorism (frost effect) in CSS?

If you prefer to watch the video version, it's right here :

1. The HTML structure.

Create a button inside two divs:

<div class="home">      <div class="container">        <button>Welcome</button>      </div></div>

2. Style your button.

Add an image to the background of the page:

.home {    background: url("https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1631515998058-69359a50da68?ixlib");    background-repeat: no-repeat;    background-attachment: fixed;     background-size: cover;    height: 100vh;    padding-top: 125px;}

Now style the container that will look frosted:

.container {    margin: auto;    width: 450px;    height: 275px;    box-shadow: 0 0 10px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, .4);       border-radius: 5px;    position: relative;    z-index: 1;    background: inherit;    overflow: hidden;    display: flex;    justify-content: center;    align-items: center;    flex-direction: column;}

(The z-index will create a new stacking context).

You do inherit the background of the page at the same position (if you comment it, youll see that otherwise you inherit the background as a whole inside of that container, which isnt what we want!).

Next, style the button:

.container button {    padding: 10px 15px;    border-radius: 5px;    border: none;    cursor: pointer;    font-family: Lora;    background: #b6604f;    color: #f1f1f1;    font-size: 27px;    padding: 15px 30px;    text-transform: uppercase;    letter-spacing: 2px;    font-weight: 800;}

3. Add the frost effect!

You need to use the pseudo-element before in order to create that effect:

.container::before {    content: "";    position: absolute;    background: inherit;    z-index: -1;    inset: 0;    filter: blur(10px);    margin: -20px;}

The z-index will also create a new stacking context, but since the pseudo-element before is kind of a child of the container, it will always stay at the top of the container.

Bravo, you are done!
