Add static blur for dash-to-dock
Now that Dash to Dock seems stable for gnome 40/41, I can provide an option to use a static blur -- just like for the panel.
This would be cool because:
- no more artefacts
- the dash content should be more readable (due to the background being less uniform with the window behind)
- rounded corners!!!
I will however add a switch (just like for the panel), because:
- no more dynamic blur, which was kind of the point of the extension at the beginning
- we're an extension, so I don't have any preferences guideline! :p
The switch could be switched on by default, because it provides a more polished user experience :)
Hi aunetx, thanks for everything. This idea sounds great.
I also want to make everyone aware that Dash to Dock already has a method to make it look great:
Under its Apperance tab, set to Dynamic:

You can click the "cogwheel" to customize the minimum and maximum transparency.
It will then behave as follows:
- When there are no windows behind the dock, it will be very transparent and blend with the wallpaper.
- When there are windows it will be slightly transparent and will slightly blend with the app under it.
- The dock uses rounded corners.
Changing the transparency amount (via the cogwheel) lets people customize this.
I am happy with Dash to Dock's own method, but I am curious what your idea will look like! :)
