What changed

Unity feature: UI Toolkit backdrop filters

The backdrop-filter style processes the content behind a UI element. It can create a blurred panel while keeping the panel’s own text and controls sharp.

Use it

  1. Apply backdrop-filter to the UI Toolkit element that should sit above the blurred content.
  2. Use the manual’s USS examples to choose the filter and tune the effect within the element bounds.

Requirements and limits

  • Requires URP and a screen-space panel. Built-in rendering, HDRP, world-space panels, and USS transitions are not supported for this property.
