```tsx
import { Glass } from 'glass-refraction';

// Basic usage - renders as div by default
function BasicGlass() {
  return (
    <Glass className="p-6">
      Content inside glass container
    </Glass>
  );
}

// Polymorphic usage - render as different elements
function PolymorphicGlass() {
  return (
    <>
      {/* Navigation bar */}
      <Glass as="nav" className="px-6 py-4 flex justify-between items-center">
        <strong>Logo</strong>
        <span>Menu</span>
      </Glass>

      {/* Header element */}
      <Glass as="header" className="px-8 py-6">
        <h1>Welcome</h1>
      </Glass>

      {/* Section */}
      <Glass as="section" className="p-8">

      </Glass>

      {/* Footer */}
      <Glass as="footer" className="px-6 py-4 text-center">
        © 2025 My App
      </Glass>

      {/* Override variant to use different tier */}
      <Glass variant="glass-card" className="p-6">
        This uses glass-card styling instead
      </Glass>

      <Glass variant="glass-pill" className="px-3 py-1">
        Pill variant
      </Glass>
    </>
  );
}

```

--------------------------------

### Apply Medium-Density Glass Effect (CSS)

Source: https://context7.com/z1code/glass-refraction/llms.txt

Applies a medium-density frosted glass effect with hover lift animation using the `.glass-card` CSS class. This is suitable for content cards and panels, featuring a specular highlight line and chromatic edges on hover. The `.glass-card--no-hover` modifier can disable these animations.

```html
<div class="glass-card" style="padding: 1.5rem;">
  <h3>Card Title</h3>
  <p>Card content with hover lift effect and chromatic edge highlighting.</p>
</div>

<div class="glass-card glass-card--no-hover" style="padding: 1.5rem;">
  <h3>Static Card</h3>
  <p>No hover animation on this card.</p>
</div>
```

--------------------------------

### Customize Glass Appearance with CSS Variables

Source: https://context7.com/z1code/glass-refraction/llms.txt

Allows customization of the glass effect's appearance by overriding CSS custom properties defined on the `:root`. Properties control blur intensity, color saturation, border radius, background gradients, chromatic edge colors, and animation timings. Custom themes can be applied by creating new CSS classes.

```css
:root {
  /* Blur intensity for each tier */
  --gr-blur: 26px;
  --gr-blur-card: 20px;
  --gr-blur-pill: 8px;

  /* Color saturation boost */
  --gr-saturation: 1.7;
  --gr-saturation-card: 1.5;
  --gr-saturation-pill: 1.3;

  /* Border radius */
  --gr-radius: 20px;
  --gr-radius-card: 16px;
  --gr-radius-pill: 9999px;

  /* Base background gradient colors */
  --gr-bg-start: rgba(18, 22, 35, 0.48);
  --gr-bg-end: rgba(12, 16, 28, 0.42);

  /* Chromatic dispersion edge colors */
  --gr-chromatic-blue: rgba(0, 180, 255, 0.045);
  --gr-chromatic-violet: rgba(120, 80, 255, 0.04);
  --gr-chromatic-pink: rgba(255, 100, 200, 0.035);
  --gr-chromatic-green: rgba(100, 255, 180, 0.025);

  /* Animation timing */
  --gr-shimmer-duration: 7s;
  --gr-specular-duration: 5s;
}

/* Example: Custom theme with faster animations and more blur */
.my-custom-glass {
  --gr-blur: 32px;
  --gr-shimmer-duration: 4s;
  --gr-bg-start: rgba(30, 40, 60, 0.5);
  --gr-bg-end: rgba(20, 30, 50, 0.45);
