ObjectDock background blur effect on Windows 10

from Stardock Forums

I understand Windows 10 is now supporting background blurs as we can see in Calculator app. Is there any plans to support blur in Object Dock backgrounds?

Microsoft didn't totally remove Aero Glass transparency in Windows 10, but they crippled it in such a way that it became useless for irregular dock backgrounds. Even now I believe you can only natively blur 'square' or 'rectangular' areas/windows/backgrounds.

There was (is?) a 3rd party utility called Aero Glass that enabled the old Aero Glass/Blur functionality in Windows 10 for applications that could take advantage of it, but even though it works it's a 'run at your own risk' type of thing. I think it is also a lot slower - but I didn't actually time it - than what you had in Windows 7.
