How to make your status bar have a blur effect

When iOS 7 was first released we noticed that there were a lot of changes. But there was one that really stood out from the rest. Blurriness.

Basically the whole OS has a blur effect on it, when you swipe down the notification center, when you swipe up the control center, when you open folders and so on. 


Well why not extend that blurriness to let's say the status bar? That's what a new tweak called 'BlurBar' does. 


             Status bar before BlurBar

              Status bar after BlurBar

This tweak does exactly what it's called, you can blur your status bar. There are many options that you can configure like:

Blur Amount

Blur size

Blur Opacity

and Blur Tint


 
Blur Amount changes how much blur you want to have on the status bar. It's be configured from minuscule > small > medium (default) > large > massive. Minuscule adds only a little bit of blur where as massive adds the max amount of blur allowed. 

Blur size, Blur opacity, and Blur tint also effect the way the blur is on the status bar, but I'll let you guys figure out what else you can do, have fun with it. 

And always if you have any comments or suggestions please leave them below.
