How to show back layer without scrim on front? about backdrop HOT 5 OPEN

did you tried with frontLayerScrim: Colors.transparent that should remove the scrimColor.

Sadly to enable user interaction (like tap, etc) behavior: HitTestBehavior.opaque, in the following code would not allow it:

Suggesting following changes:

• add HitTestBehavior frontLayerScrimBehaviour [could also add corresponding backLayerScrimBehaviour]
• rename frontLayerScrim -> frontLayerScrimColor - same for backLayerScrim
• keep frontLayerScrim and backLayerScrim for backward compatibility - with deprecation warning - can check how we previously deprecated frontLayerBorderRadius for reference.

@WieFel What are your views on it?

@lastmeta Backdrop behaviour in MDG defines that the front layer should be inactive when backLayer is revealed, therefore this is the default(hard-coded) behaviour.

thats fine. in our case we want to reveal a portion of the backlayer which provides information and is not interacted with. perhaps MDG would suggest we put that information on the front layer but having it on the back and having the front be interactive gives a clean and clear distinction between info and interact portions of the screen.

I was able to create a workaround (rather than a real solution) this problem in the following way:

...
            if (_hasFrontLayerScrim) _buildInactiveLayer(context),
...
  /// this is not an ideal solution to
  /// https://github.com/fluttercommunity/backdrop/issues/117
  /// because I don't want the backdrop layer to have access to the streams
  /// I'd rather the widget inform the backdrop layer how to behave
  /// However, I tried making the `Offstage` in `_buildInactiveLayer` work
  /// according to a widget variable which was modified in realtime by
  /// `.revealBackLayer(activeFront: true);` but that failed to work, so
  /// though this is not the pure top-down solution I was hoping for, it is
  /// sufficient for now: 
  /// look it up how you should build front layer in real time:
  bool get _hasFrontLayerScrim => streams.app.page.value == 'Home';

I think the scrim can be made optional, therefore re-opening this issue.

Feel free to file PR with changes mentioned above.

* add `HitTestBehavior frontLayerScrimBehaviour` [could also add corresponding `backLayerScrimBehaviour`]

* rename `frontLayerScrim` -> `frontLayerScrimColor` - same for `backLayerScrim`

@daadu Seems reasonable. LGTM!
