http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=52239 Keyboard mod is there, I'm sure dscobsct would appreciate it if his thread doesn't get hijacked

Back on topic, it should be possible to actually change the blur into reduced brightness (which is how the MeeGo widgets gallery behaves), instead of blurring the background, dim it!
That should reduce load on the CPU and the PowerVR SGX (if it's actually being used in this case).
I had a look at the source but again it's C, and that's a brick wall for me.
