macos transparency and effects only when focused about flutter_acrylic

[tofutim]

I guess maybe the blur is too much to give to a non-active app?

Seems like the macos effects are only available when the window focused. Is there some way around this? The Mac Terminal Silver Aero does this kind of...

(I was hoping for a see-thru window)

If you are aware of any relevant configurations or APIs, feel free to contribute. I haven't worked on macOS implementation, but I believe great work is done by @ Adrian-Samoticha.

Most blurry apps in macOS work this way. Granted, the Terminal does seem to be an exception to this rule. I'll look into this sometime.

Edit: Apparently this topic is very well documented here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsvisualeffectview/state

It actually appears to be a very straightforward thing to implement, so I am going to assign myself.

#14 resolves this issue. You will be able to set the blur view state to active like so:

Window.setBlurViewState(MacOSBlurViewState.active);

This will make the window's blur effect active regardless of the window's active state.
