I want to place a blur effect on top of a view with gradient. When I do so using the UIVisualEffectView combined with the UIBlurEffect light, I get the following result:
As you can see, the navigation bar is very bright. I'd like it to not be tinted with white color, or what this might be, but instead actually just blur the background.
I noticed that when dragging down the notification center / lockscreen on iOS 11, the blur is not so bright, even though the background gradient is exactly the same:
I was thinking this could be done using the tintColor property of UIVisualEffectView, but changing it did not have any effect whatsoever.
Is there any way I can reproduce the blur effect shown in the image above, using standard Swift libraries?
Edit
Since there haven’t been any responses whatsoever, I’m guessing there’s no way to do it natively.
If someone can recommend a good library, I’m open to that too.
Thanks!
