Is it possible to blur Gnome Text Editor?

Is it possible to blur Gnome Text Editor?

@Infiniti151 It is.

Add this to end of the CSS file and use blur my shell to blur it:

.org-gnome-TextEditor textview.editor, .org-gnome-TextEditor textview.editor * {
  background: transparent;
}

Thanks! That worked great. The only problem I'm seeing is the color of selected text also became transparent. I can see the selected text in the overview map, but not in the editor. How to change that color? Also found out another issue that the context menu inside the editor is transparent as well

@Infiniti151 Sorry, my bad. Here is the correct snippet:

.org-gnome-TextEditor textview.editor, .org-gnome-TextEditor textview.editor gutter, .org-gnome-TextEditor textview.editor border {
  background: transparent;
}

Worked perfectly! Thanks
