Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm trying to use a blurry background on a transparent window element (sidebar).

Describe the solution you'd like
Use backdrop-filter along with a transparent window to achieve a blurry background.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've also tried to use -webkit-filter: blur(20px), but same thing happens.

Additional context

The following screenshots were taken with a transparent window - transparent: true on tauri.conf.json. The window is in front of my OS wallpaper.

Description Image
On the left side I have a div with backdrop-filter: blur(20px) and also a background: rgba(238, 238, 244, 0.5). On the right side I have another but with background: transparent. image
When I add the same image I use on my OS wallpaper on <body>, the desired blur effect appears. image

Conclusion: The blur effects appears only when the image is part of the application, and doesn't consider what is behind the transparent window. Should it?
