**Terraglass 1.2.0 — glass menus and dialogs**

**New: glass menus and dialogs**

The frosted look now extends beyond header, sidebar and search:

- **Dropdown menus** are translucent with a soft blur, including their hover and selection highlights
- **Dialogs** get the same treatment, and the page behind them is blurred instead of darkened
- A thin **hairline edge** and a faint highlight along the top make the surfaces read as glass
- Opacity and blur can be set **separately for menus and dialogs**

**It’s on by default.** If you prefer the previous look, turn off `glass_surfaces` in the theme settings.

**Terraglass 1.1.0 — optional header tint, plus an important bugfix**

**New: header tint**

You can now give the header a subtle color of your own, for forums that want a bit more visual identity.

- **auto** follows the accent color of the active color scheme, so it switches along with light/dark mode
- **custom** lets you pick any color (hex, named color, rgb…)
- Adjustable strength, from a faint hint to a solid bar
- The frosted-glass transparency and blur stay intact underneath

**It’s off by default** — enable it with `header_tint` in the theme settings.

**Fixed: on/off settings had no effect**

In 1.0.x, switching a feature off in the theme settings didn’t actually turn it off. All toggles now work as intended.
