[New Feature] Blur!

[domferr]

Well...it would be nice to have blurred tile previews and snap assistant! Here it is!

I'm seeking for feedback, please share yours! Should it be the default? Do you believe it is better white blurred ( ⬅️ left image) or it should follow the shell theme color ( ➡️ right image)?

The snap assistant is blurred in the previous images. In this video the snap assistant is not blurred.

Issues

• GNOME shell bug #2857 is a big problem. I have a workaround I'm testing.

@domferr , I am a huge fan of transparency / opacity as it allows one to see important information behind the focused window. For example, I often type commands from a website or text document in my terminal, and because my terminal is semi-transparent, I can see the commands on the website / text document behind my terminal. But, in some cases blur does shine, e.g. when viewing the App Grid and Work-spaces Overview with Blur My Shell. In the case of TS, I am in two minds. Maybe a switch in settings to enable/disable it?

First of all, I really like the blur effect in the snap assistant. That could be the default setting for me

I could imagine that it works better for the individual if the colour is based on the shell theme.

It probably looks more consistent then.

Love the blur and makes sense to follow the shell theme (and/or allow a light/dark switch in the settings).

Beautiful (but still I hope configurable)
