Apply BackdropBlur to everything outside of Canvas

[thespacemanatee]

Hello! Thanks again for this wonderful library.

I wanted to ask if it is possible or will it ever be possible to apply any backdrop filters to views that exist outside of the Canvas? The use case is to have a bottom sheet that is rendered in a separate view tree from the underlying screen to achieve the Glassmorphism design language.

As you can see in the example, only the logo image is being blurred, but nothing in the background screen is being blurred.

Hi, @thespacemanatee - this is unfortunately not possible for now - the reason being that the Skia Views does not know about the React Native Views, and they are both rendered completely different.

We are looking into ways that we could bridge this gap, but it is currently a bit out of scope.

Has anything changed in that matter? Is it possible to blurred background of a skia element respect a react native View under the skia element?
