how to add blur to panel quick settings and other drop downs about blur-my-shell HOT 5 OPEN

Hello @kaushiksahu18, unfortunately that's very hard to do (and I have currently no idea how to achieve it), but that's on my to-do list (although that may never happen anyway)

from blur-my-shell.

What extensions do you have in the panel?

What extensions do you have in the panel?

@aunetx maybe to seek inspiration from Open Bar extension which applies transparency on the menus from top panel (and extension menus in top panel), as well as it can manipulate corner radius and border. Maybe blur can be applied to that the same way it's now applied to dock. Reference:

@sekurilabs thanks for the advices! Unfortunately, adding transparency (which is just css tweaking, although in a very smart way for Open Bar) and blur/effects is not at all the same thing (it requires really taking the clutter actors, and putting elements behind that are blurred).

I think I will see with the open-bar developer if he/she is interested in using blur-my-shell in a kind of API-way (because I can't support his extension by myself, it is way too customizable); and that would benefit other devs too (for example for Search Light, or Dash-to-Dock variations...). But for the drop-downs themselves, I will need to dive deep under the surface to get something, but that will take me quite a lot of work to have something usable.
