Leaving aside any discussion of whether it was a good idea to add "vibrancy" to 
the OS, I do have a question about how to use it.  

When a popup window or a pulldown such as a menu appears, using the content of 
whatever's under it as the source image for vibrancy makes sense because the 
temporary window is meant to be hovering over other content in the same app.

But for a sidebar like the iTunes source view, it just seems wrong to blur in 
content from whatever other window happens to be open behind the current app. 
Theoretically the two apps have nothing in common, and blurring in the 
background app's content doesn't help the user in any way.

My app will have a source view, so I'd like to know if there's a way to tell 
the window server to use only the desktop image to create vibrancy effects in a 
the sidebar, ignoring any other windows which may lie between my app and the 
desktop.
