Accurate modal layer shape

[claymorwan]

I wanted to add blur to the modal since without it it's just transparent, but when I did so this happened

If possible it'd be nice if the layer's shape could be accurate the modal's shape instead of taking up the whole screen

Hey I am not able to figure out how to achieve this in past (during v1) but was not able to get, if you know how then it would be great if you can create PR for it.

As there are few other my plugins need this, if you can't add this but know a project that has this or if there is documentation for it then please provide as ref.

not sure if I can do it myself since I'm not the best with qml, but i think i maybe have an idea of what could causes this
there's only a single wayland layer, so i assume the modal is actually the screen dim (which takes up the entire screen) + the actual modal UI, so trying to blur the UI also blurs the dim that takes up the entire screen. idk if u tried it already but what if u seperated the dim and modal into 2 differents layers ?

During V1 development i tried with 2 layers but i was still not able to get blur with just toolbar, if there is any plugin you can find it doesn't matter if it's noctalia or anything else then i might be able to find how is it accived.
