Lab under ACCOUNT in the Settings drawer hosts experimental UI features. Today that includes Liquid Glass Effects — glass morphism, backdrop filters, and fluid animations that enhance surfaces across the app.
Please note:
- Lab settings are stored in your browser (
localStorage), not on the server. Other devices and browsers keep their own Lab state.- You must refresh the page after toggling liquid glass for changes to take effect.

Performance tip
If you notice slowness, scroll jank, or visual glitches after enabling liquid glass, turn the toggle off and refresh again. On first load the app may infer device capabilities and suggest conservative settings — Lab overrides that for users who want the full effect.
Lab features do not change workspace data, permissions, or themes. For production-facing appearance, use Theme and workspace appearance. For stable app versions, see App and PWA updates.
