Are the ai2 Glass tables free?

Yes. The whole styled layer is free and MIT licensed, like the component core.

Can I change the size?

Yes. Every variation takes a size prop of sm, md, lg or xl, aligned to the base Button height scale.

Glass tables

Five frosted table surfaces that keep real semantic markup and vary only the glass treatment: frost, tint, smoke, crystal and depth. Each is self-contained, sized by density, token-driven, and renders with no props.

TableGlass

Installation

The styled layer is free and installs like any other ai2 component.

Run the following command

npx shadcn@latest add @ai2/table-glass

Dependencies, the @ai2/tokens theme and the component file are installed together.

Copy the source

components/ui/table-glass.tsx

"use client"

import type * as React from "react"

import { cn } from "@/lib/utils"
import { glassDepth } from "@/components/ui/glass"

/* Glass table family: 5 frosted-glass data tables. The difference is only on the
   surface - frost, tint, smoke, crystal and depth. Each export renders a complete
   <table> with no props too (3 columns / 4 rows by default). Color comes ONLY from
   semantic tokens, via alpha color-mix. No animation, pure CSS; self-contained.

   The glass surface derives from the glassDepth scale inside @ai2/glass; the
   backdrop-blur is never hand-written, so every variant carries the ai2 inset
   highlight signature.

   Depth map (a wide data panel sitting in the page flow):
     Crystal -> sm  (4px)  clear glass + its own gradient
     Frost   -> md  (8px)  the canonical default
     Tint    -> md  (8px)  the same glass as Frost, differing in its info hue
     Smoke   -> lg  (16px) dense smoke
     Depth   -> xl  (24px) a floating layered panel

   NO GLASS ON GLASS: the blur is ONLY on the shell (the w-full overflow-x-auto
   wrapper). thead/tr are only an opaque or semi-transparent COLOR layer and never
   take their own backdrop-filter - if they did, the overlapping blur would turn to
   mud. */

Manual installs skip the @ai2/tokens theme, so add the token CSS from the theming guide or the tone colors will be missing.

Variations

ai2 Glass tables: 5 styled variations on the token system

The ai2 Glass tables are a set of 5 decorative button variations from the styled layer of the @ai2 design system, built around frosted glass data table surfaces. They are free and MIT licensed, and every color comes from a semantic token, so they theme with the rest of ai2 in light and dark.

Motion runs on framer-motion: row hover states run on token CSS transitions. The styled layer is opt-in, so the dependency only lands if you use it; the base components stay lean. Under reduced motion, the hover transitions are disabled and rows stay static.

What is in the ai2 Glass tables?

5 exports in one file: Frost, Tint, Smoke, Crystal and Depth. Each renders a native button and takes a size prop (sm, md, lg, xl) aligned to the base Button. They are separate from the base Button on purpose: the base keeps its clean variant, tone and size axes, while the styled layer carries the effects.

You own the file. Copy the one category file and you have all 5 variations, with no runtime dependency on ai2 itself.

Why use it

On-system by construction: Every color resolves to an ai2 semantic token, so the buttons follow your theme in light and dark with no extra work.
Effect without the sprawl: The decorations live in a dedicated styled file, so the base Button keeps its clean, predictable API.
Accessible and honest: Each renders a real button element, keeps a visible focus ring, and respects prefers-reduced-motion.

Features

Token-driven color: No hardcoded hex or oklch; the look recolors with your theme tokens.
framer-motion: row hover states run on token CSS transitions.
Reduced-motion aware: Under prefers-reduced-motion, the hover transitions are disabled and rows stay static.
Size aligned to the base: Every variation takes sm, md, lg and xl matching the base Button height scale, so styled and base buttons line up in a row.

Production tips

Use it for emphasis, not everywhere: Styled buttons draw the eye. Reserve them for the one action you want people to take on a screen, and use the base Button for the rest.
Keep labels as verbs: The decoration adds weight, so a clear action label keeps the button scannable.
Pick one variation per surface: The variations share a family; using two different ones in the same view competes for attention.

Works with the rest of ai2

The Glass tables sit alongside the base Button and the rest of the @ai2 registry. They share the same token file, so a styled action next to a base button or a badge stays visually consistent in both modes.
