Maybe I should reserve further comment till both the 'fixed' no blur & a
functioning background color are available.
But -
First, I thought the idea is that things should work well without too
much user modifying, is the idea that if a user can switch to no blur
they should be capable of making it usable if it's not depending on
chosen Background image?

2nd - the problem with using the 'background color feature' is that one
must choose a new color & set opacity. The opacity setting does have a
positive effect of making the Dash more usable, the picking of a new
color & raising opacity to the extent it improves the Dash is most
likely to produce an awful launcher

Further - what if the user wishes to make the no blur Dash usable & keep
their current launcher coloring? Good luck trying to do that

Is there some reason other than Design that the no blur Dash can't have
some opacity?
