## Description

Blurry is an Android UI visual effect library used to apply Gaussian blur and color filters to mobile user interfaces. It provides a toolset for generating blurred bitmap images from source files or memory and applying these effects to Android views and layout containers.

The library implements frosted glass effects by capturing static bitmap representations of UI components and rendering them as stylized overlays. This process includes radius-driven sampling to control blur intensity and color-filter integration to modify the visual mood or readability of the background.

The project covers image processing and view styling capabilities, including blurred bitmap generation and custom canvas overlays for rendering processed images above original view content.
