Leaving aside any discussion of whether it was a good idea to add "vibrancy" to the OS, I do have a question about how to use it.
When a popup window or a pulldown such as a menu appears, using the content of whatever's under it as the source image for vibrancy makes sense because the temporary window is meant to be hovering over other content in the same app.
But for a sidebar like the iTunes source view, it just seems wrong to blur in content from whatever other window happens to be open behind the current app. Theoretically the two apps have nothing in common, and blurring in the background app's content doesn't help the user in any way.
My app will have a source view, so I'd like to know if there's a way to tell the window server to use only the desktop image to create vibrancy effects in a the sidebar, ignoring any other windows which may lie between my app and the desktop.
