GNOME Shell 3.26+:

With GNOME Shell version 3.32 the panel transparency was removed. In order to use the blurred panel feature, you can install the Dynamic Panel Transparency [extension](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1011/dynamic-panel-transparency/).

### Extension Preferences:

## Installation

### Official

Install *blyr* using the official repository:

[extensions.gnome.org](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1251/blyr/)

### Manual

```bash

git clone https://github.com/yozoon/gnome-shell-extension-blyr.git

cd gnome-shell-extension-blyr/

make local-install

```

Now just restart the Shell and enable the extension.

To remove the extension just run:

```bash

make local-uninstall

```

## Troubleshooting

Some Ubuntu users reported that the preferences dialog didn't appear after opening it from the GNOME Tweaks application. To fix the issue install the gtkclutter bindings as follows:

```bash

sudo apt install gir1.2-gtkclutter-1.0

```
