Bliss blur effect should be optional

  • /e/ version: 2.6.3-t
  • Device model(s): FP5

Summary

Bliss version introduced in 2.6.3 re-introduces a 'blur' effect at the bottom of home screen.

Issue is : it is annoying for some users.

Home screen being the main interface to a phone, it feels important to let people feel at home there. Forcing such a change feels really bad.

Making this optional would be really nice.
