SoftEdgeBlur(
            edges: [
              EdgeBlur(
                type: EdgeType.topEdge,
                size: 122,
                sigma: 150,
                tintColor: Colors.white.withValues(alpha: 0.20),
                controlPoints: [
                  ControlPoint(
                    position: 0.8,
                    type: ControlPointType.visible,
                  ),
                  ControlPoint(
                    position: 1.0,
                    type: ControlPointType.transparent,
                  ),
                ],
              )
            ],
            child: CustomScrollView(children: [...widgets here],),);

I'm not sure if this is the same problem, but I'm facing a similar issue to BackdropFilter, where some widgets behind are not getting blurred properly when I use Blendmode.srcOver. However, it works fine when I switch to Blendmode.src. The only thing is, I can't find the blendmode option in this package.

This widget does not take everything behind the child like BDF it just takes the content child
So if you have red background and list view on top of it, using BDF will see whole thing, from the red content to the list view content

This package only sees the content of the child and blurs that content only
So try to use this widget one level above to make sure the content that is not blurred is inside SoftEdgeBlur and not behind it

instead of :

-> Container(color: Colors.red)
--> SoftEdgeBlur 
---> ListView

Do:

-> SoftEdgeBlur 
--> Container(color: Colors.red)
---> ListView

Let me know if that helps @damywise and and @hyped0001

We have a pretty large tree of widgets, is it possible to blur the children as well? Or would that be too heavy?

[Rahiche]

Yes, it is possible

The blurring will be done in the same amount of time, because you are blurring the same rectangular area
but for the part where the widget tree is turned into an image using AnimatedSampler I don't know exactly how big of a difference it will be.

but I advise you try it and test in few different devices to come up with your own results
