I'm loving these themes so far. One issue I’ve come across is how some dialogues retain their transparency and can be hard to read with text underneath. Here's an example of editing a dashboard and adding a Heading card. The busy-ness of the underlying dashboard shows through. Is there any way around this, perhaps with some changes to the theme yaml? I’ve also been trying the Frosted Glass theme, which has similar aims (although it interferes with some other cards I use). The same "popup" has a solid background with this theme.

Thanks for any pointers.

The dialog is supposed to have a blurred background, but it seems that this broke at some point in Home Assistant. The two variables that control this in my theme and frosted glass are these:

  ha-dialog-surface-backdrop-filter: var(--ha-card-backdrop-filter)
  ha-dialog-surface-background: var(--ha-card-background)

You can change this to:

  ha-dialog-surface-background: var(--primary-background-color)

That will make it non-transparent while I try to figure out why the blur broke.

When I added support for backdrop filters in HA two years ago, dialogs worked correctly:

Added a workaround to 2.6.5. I also submitted the fix to HA, but it'll probably only make it to 2026.3 (since .2 is already in beta).

Amazing! Works beautifully. Thanks for getting the workaround done so quickly. Would you mind sharing the HA bug fix you submitted so I can track it?
