Hi, thanks for the feedback! To clarify, I do use the built-in .glassEffect() modifier on SwiftUI components (sidebar, tab bar, command palette, browser toolbar). The terminal surface itself is the hard part. It's backed by ghostty's Metal renderer which draws its own opaque background, so simply slapping .glassEffect() on it doesn't work. I've been working on improving transparency there but it's not as simple as a few lines of code when you're wrapping a GPU-rendered terminal engine. The titlebar is intentional for now, but I'm considering options there.
