To add a glassmorphism effect to any block from Nexter Blocks, follow the steps: 

1. Add the Container block and select the appropriate layout.

2. Add a background image to the container or column and make the necessary adjustments.

Note: You can use any container block from any plugin as long as it allows you to add a background image to the container or column.

5. In the popup, adjust the Blur level to create the glassmorphism effect.

You will find additional options to refine the effect:

Contrast – Adjust the contrast level of the glassmorphism background.

Saturation – Adjust the saturation level of the glassmorphism background.

Saturation – Adjust the color saturation level of the glassmorphism background. 

Note: For the Container block, you’ll find this option under the Style tab.
