Blur my Shell

by aunetx

Adds a blur look to different parts of GNOME Shell, including the top panel, dash and overview. You can support my work by sponsoring me on: - GitHub: https://github.com/sponsors/aunetx - Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/aunetx Note: if the extension shows an error after updating, restart your session to see whether it persists. This is due to a GNOME Shell bug that the extension cannot work around.
