Hey guys!
So I'm creating a launcher for someone and they have requested that I use a 'frosted glass' effect on a view much like the iOS7 look. At first I thought I could do this by just blurring an image, turning it black and white, setting transparency and then laying it over the background - but this doesn't 'blur' the wallpaper that you can see behind it as such, just makes it harder to see.
So my question is, how could I go about creating a uniform 'blur' effect on a panel that would distort the image behind it? Bearing in mind it will be on top of all manner of views and text? Is there a way to do this?
Essentially this is the effect I' going for (on the left): http://media.idownloadblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Blur-Contrast-iOS-7-Control-Center.png
Any ideas? Thanks a ton in advance! :-D
