Can we have background blur effect please? We already have layer blur, but it would be nice to have background blur. Thanks.

Hi @Opeyemi_Adetifa,
Thank you for the suggestion! We already have an enhancement in our backlog for this but it hasn’t been prioritized yet, you can find the details here.
In the meantime, you can apply the blur effect to a board so it affects all its contents, would this option work for you?
Hey there @Opeyemi_Adetifa, I’ve proposed this a while ago, but wasn’t aware there were any progress on it: Add Filters panel + "Background Blur" option
By the way, there’s a more manual way to do this, which I explain right here:
The video is in Portuguese, but I think you can see the steps and reproduce it to achieve the desired effect.

Hi there,
The option that you mentioned would work, but in my opinion the background blur effect should definitely be prioritised 
I’m trying to make the switch to Penpot 2.0 and compared to version 1.0, it really has exceeded all my expectations. Lots of Figma features are here except the background blur one.
And IMHO, you guys just need to also add progressive blur and flocks of people would just migrate to Penpot really quickly.
Have a good day!
Could this be achieved with the new plugin system now 
It’s weird to see such a popular feature not being prioritized, though I see penpot themselves don’t use this much
