Add a blurry background in Windows Phone apps
How can I add a blurry background with some transparency in a Windows Phone app.
I can create a transparent background using the opacity property or using the first two alpha numbers of the hex color code # AF FFFFFF. But I can't find a way to add blur to any panel. Is there a way or work?

Blur effect is not supported out of the Silverlight box.
Possibly with WriteableBitmapEx
When loading an image in, WriteableBitmap wb
you can get a blurry version with
var wb2 = WriteableBitmapExtensions.Convolute(wb, WriteableBitmapExtensions.KernelGaussianBlur3x3);
