Is it possible to duplicate the iOS blur effect through scripting? Would be neat to use for panel background.

Blur effect is not something easy to do, or at least I couldn’t find a good way to do it. Sorry.
The most similar thing I saw was from gerd reuter (I can’t link him for whatever reason) in some of his screens, mainly in the lock screen. But I think that was made with something different from LL, a widget I think

Not really easy to do this in an efficient way. Maybe a dumb trick would be to capture the background of the panel (empty), blur it with some imaging tool, then set it as the panel background. Of course this is a very limited solution: it would work if the background is static, not if there is a live wallpaper or something scrolling behind.

First, you need a screen capture tool. You may get some on the play store, or use some tool directly on the PC (I recommend taking screenshotsfrom the PC). Then crop and blur the panel area in your screenshot as needed (using Gimp or Photoshop, or some other software). You then need to upload this modified image to your phone and select it this way: enter edit mode in the desktop containing the panel, long tap on the panel, select customize / more. Tap on “Normal background” and pick your blurred image.
