import Blur from 'gi://Blur';

const MyBlurEffect = GObject.registerClass({
    GTypeName: "MyBlurEffect"
}, class MyBlurEffect extends Blur.BlurEffect {
    constructor(params) {
        super({
            mode: Blur.BlurMode.BACKGROUND,
            radius: 30,
            brightness: 0.6,
            corner_radius: 14,  // From here you can set corner radius for blur
            ...params
        });
    }
});
