In practice

Glass belongs on the controls that sit above content, never on the content itself, and it needs a busy background to read as glass at all.

Appetite UI draws bars, buttons and sheets on Liquid Glass effect styles and keeps the floating tab bar on glass on iOS. The effects page says which style goes where.
