Blur & Glassmorphism Effects: RenderEffect and Frosted Glass UI

Modern UI designs often use blur effects and glassmorphism for depth and visual hierarchy.

Blur with RenderEffect (Android 12+)

Box(
    modifier = Modifier
        .fillMaxWidth()
        .height(200.dp)
        .graphicsLayer {
            renderEffect = BlurEffect(
                radiusX = 10f,
                radiusY = 10f,
                edgeTreatment = TileMode.Clamp
            )
        }
)

Glassmorphism Pattern

@Composable
fun GlassCard(content: @Composable () -> Unit) {
    Box(
        modifier = Modifier
            .fillMaxWidth()
            .background(
                color = Color.White.copy(alpha = 0.1f),
                shape = RoundedCornerShape(12.dp)
            )
            .border(
                width = 1.dp,
                color = Color.White.copy(alpha = 0.2f),
                shape = RoundedCornerShape(12.dp)
            )
            .padding(16.dp)
    ) {
        content()
    }
}

Semi-Transparent Overlay

Box(
    modifier = Modifier
        .fillMaxSize()
        .background(Color.Black.copy(alpha = 0.4f))
)

Blur and glassmorphism effects create modern, polished UIs that improve visual communication and guide user attention effectively.
