Hey there,

First of all THANK YOU for this great theme.

I found one issue: If a drop down menu opens upwards, all is fine. If it opens downwards, it is placed behind other objects. This happens in Liquid glass and visionOS. I first suspected bubble card or one of the modules it it, but with a different theme (waves) this does not happen.

I have a similar issue. Scrolling with down arrow on the panel reveals the functions but remains in background.

I had kind of the same problem. Some popups were displayed in the back of the page behind all other elements.

Here's is an example - please look at the date picker:

I discovered that this particular setting is causing the issue:

ha-card-backdrop-filter: blur(8px)

After removing it, all loads fine.

You need to modify the yaml file with the config. Just add # before such line and run the quick reload. The problem should be gone as long as you modify the right yaml.

If the line is commented out, there is no blur effect 😔

I used the original file to show you simply where to look for 😉

@kattcrazy: For the blur effect I am using bubble card with frosted Class module enabled

It's indeed the blur effect (or more generally the backdrop-filter) that causes this because it creates a new stacking context. Many of the dropdowns HA uses don't support this, but newer kind of dropdowns handle this properly. Sadly this kind of theme relies heavily on this effect.

Hey, I have a workaround!
Use the original theme file for your dashboards like this

and then in your profile, set a edited version without the blur line

That way you will have blurred cards in dashboards, but not the ui 😁
