I’m making a panel that has 3 cards and when I hover the mouse over one of the cards, the others become "blur", but :hover:not(:hover) doesn’t work, could anyone tell me how to make it work? Would I have to select another class within the card container to make the others take blur?
below I will leave a good part of the css ```:root {
--green-neon: #7adf67;
--green-neon-s: #30a026;
--purple-neon: #a676f9;
--purple-neon-s: #885af7;
--blue-neon: #0a3e58;
--blue-neon-s: #387598;

I’ll leave the link below too, in case anyone wants to see it and correct it directly there.

You’re trying to have CSS hover affect sibling elements, which isn’t possible.
Instead you’ll need to hang the rule on a parent element:
In other words: when the element containing all the cards is hovered, blur everything except the specific card that’s also hovered.
I don’t think you can achieve it with only CSS. What I understood from what you said is that you wanted to blur all sibling cards when one card is hovered, which is possible with this:
But it will only blur the siblings that come after the element, not the previous one.
You can check the reproducible example here:
