Given that this look appears to be imitating frosted glass, it's very much compatible with skeumorphism. Maybe not the one you want, but it's very much attempting to mimic a physical look.

Just because it mimics glass that exists in real life, that doesn't make it skeuomorphism.

skeuomorphism is grounded on real world counterparts.

How many buttons in real life are actually made of glasses clear or frosted?

  • Quite a lot of clear plastic or glass buttons. BMWs latest gen’s entire interior is centered around a bunch of crystal buttons.

Good point. I don't like this but maybe, just maybe there's something I'm missing that you might have brought to light.
