Fixed in commit 30fc516. The previous implementation had white text on light backgrounds which made the buttons hard to read. I've now updated the glass effect with:
The buttons now have a professional glass-like appearance while remaining clearly readable. |

This PR transforms the extension's UI buttons from solid, distracting colors to a subtle glass-like appearance that allows content to show through while maintaining usability.
Changes Made
Main Popup Button:
rgba(76, 175, 80, 0.2)Dialog Buttons:
Dialog Backgrounds:
rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85)for subtle transparencyVisual Impact
Before: The prominent solid green "Capture and Prompt" button was visually distracting and drew too much attention.
After: The button now has a subtle, semi-transparent appearance that blends better with the interface while remaining clearly interactive and readable. The glass effect with backdrop blur creates a modern, polished look that doesn't compete with the content behind it.
The changes maintain full functionality while significantly reducing visual noise, creating a more professional and less intrusive user experience with proper text contrast for accessibility.
Fixes #8.
