Features

• GlassAppBar — transparent app bar with a smooth gradient shadow that fades content scrolling beneath it. Shadow appears on scroll, hides when at top.
• BlurredBottomOverlay — gradient fade-out over scrollable content with a pinned bottom widget (e.g. a sticky CTA button).
• showVeilUISheet — native Cupertino sheet presentation.
• iOS 26 adaptive back button — SF Symbol on iOS 26+, Material circle button below.
• Full dark mode support — all gradients are derived from the app's scaffold background color.
• RTL-aware — uses standard Localizations, no third-party locale package required.

Installation

dependencies:
  veil_ui: ^0.1.0

import 'package:veil_ui/veil_ui.dart';

Initialize once before runApp so the iOS version is cached:

Future<void> main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await IosVersionHelper.instance.init();
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

Usage

GlassAppBar

Scaffold(
  appBar: GlassAppBar(title: 'Settings'),
  body: ListView(...),
)

Scroll-driven shadow — shadow appears after the user scrolls past the threshold:

class _MyScreenState extends State<MyScreen> {
  final _scroll = ScrollController();

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _scroll.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: GlassAppBar(
        title: 'Feed',
        scrollController: _scroll,
      ),
      body: ListView.builder(
        controller: _scroll,
        itemBuilder: (_, i) => ListTile(title: Text('Item $i')),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Custom title widget:

GlassAppBar(
  titleWidget: Row(
    mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
    children: [
      CircleAvatar(radius: 12, backgroundImage: NetworkImage(avatarUrl)),
      SizedBox(width: 8),
      Text('Mohammed'),
    ],
  ),
)

With a TabBar:

GlassAppBar(
  title: 'Explore',
  bottom: TabBar(tabs: [...]),
)

showVeilUISheet

Native Cupertino modal sheet — matches the iOS 26 card-stack presentation.

showVeilUISheet<void>(
  context: context,
  builder: (context) => const MySheetContent(),
);

Inside the sheet, use GlassAppBar with isModalSheet: true:

class MySheetContent extends StatelessWidget {
  const MySheetContent({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: GlassAppBar(
        title: 'Edit Profile',
        isModalSheet: true,
      ),
      body: ...,
    );
  }
}
