As far as I can tell, this doesn't use it.

Also, for the vibe that this is going for, very surprised the title bar was left in.

Code has lots of claims that something is done and it isn't.
It would be hard to convince me to move away from iterm2. But a theme for it would get massive adoption.
If I use Calyx but I have set up macOS to be non liquid glassy as much as possible with Accessibility features, etc. will Calyx just be GHostty?
It's only a few lines of code to use the built-in liquid glass.

Forgive me if I got it wrong but isn’t the chrome supposed to be taken care by the OS (Liguid Glass in this case) and Ghostty to just behave as Ghostty? If I use Calyx but I have set up macOS to be non liquid glassy as much as possible with Accessibility features, etc. will Calyx just be GHostty?
On the accessibility point, if you disable transparency effects, the glass parts will respect that. But Calyx won't just become Ghostty. The features beyond glass (tab groups, command palette, session persistence, notifications, browser tabs, git viewer, etc.) are all still there. Glass is the visual layer, not the core of what Calyx adds.

This doesn't make me want to use it. I'm not on Mac anyway but still.
I just use Konsole at the moment, sometimes kitty if I need something really low resource.

Did you have trouble using tmux to organize your terminal sessions?
Hi, thank you for asking. Honestly, I didn't know about tmux when I started this project. I was only familiar with Ghostty and cmux, and I really wanted a translucent terminal with Liquid Glass. Plus, building my own means I can customize it however I want going forward. So I just went for it.

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…
