Sometimes I hack around with the transparency & blur implementations for #GNOME, create a #GtkWebView2 with a transparent background enabled, and just am in awe for a minute at what is possible on this platform
@panpantepan GTK isn't really involved: blurring the contents of the screen behind a window requires the compositor to do that, because it's the only component that knows what's behind a window. All that GTK has to do is to make the background of that window transparent, and it already allows you to do that.
@ebassi @panpantepan If GNOME Shell ever gets upstream support for this - from a developer's perspective, it's not just transparency but also things like the blur radius and more. Optimally, this would be `background: transparent` _and_ `backdrop-filter: blur(8px)` etc. :)
