GlassTheme class
Provides glass theme configuration to descendant widgets.
This InheritedWidget allows glass widgets to access centralized theme settings without passing them explicitly through the widget tree.
Usage
Wrap your app (or a section of it) with GlassTheme:
MaterialApp(
builder: (context, child) => GlassTheme(
data: GlassThemeData(
light: GlassThemeVariant(
settings: LiquidGlassSettings(thickness: 30),
quality: GlassQuality.standard,
),
dark: GlassThemeVariant(
settings: LiquidGlassSettings(thickness: 40),
quality: GlassQuality.standard,
),
),
child: child!,
),
)
Access theme in widgets:
final theme = GlassThemeData.of(context);
final settings = theme.settingsFor(context); // Auto light/dark
Theme Inheritance
Widgets automatically inherit theme settings from the nearest GlassTheme
ancestor. Individual widgets can override theme values by explicitly
passing settings, quality, or glowColor parameters.
Light/Dark Mode
The theme automatically switches between light and dark variants using a four-level priority cascade (highest first):
- GlassThemeData.brightness — explicit override on this theme.
- Cupertino theme brightness — explicit pin in CupertinoThemeData.
- Material ThemeMode — honours ThemeMode.light / ThemeMode.dark.
- MediaQuery.platformBrightnessOf — device/OS system setting.
Use GlassTheme.brightnessOf to resolve brightness inside glass widgets. Never read MediaQuery.platformBrightnessOf or CupertinoTheme.brightnessOf directly in glass widget code — those bypass the cascade.
