+ Dash: No blur option should use an opaque or translucent lens
This was fixed nicely in unity-4.16
The new 'fixed' no blur option in unity-0.5.10 is now tinted but transparent, again it can produce a distracting or unusable Dash
That's unity-5.10
bug that fixed & broke (depending on viewpoint I guess

Not even really trying to make it look bad
- Unity 5.8 Dash Blur effect vs Panel transparency Edit (35.9 MiB, video/mp4)
Well for me it looks bad!
I really would like to set the transparency of the unity panel as I can set it now when Dash is on No Blur. Yet I need to keep the dash look like it is under Active or Static blur.
Surely all this needs is a much darker tint? I would prefer opaque but at least a darker tint would be useable.
I really wish this would be fixed. The active blur performs horribly on intel cards pre sandybridge, no blur is unusable, and static blur is incredibly glitchy.
