I personally found this to be a stunning blur that I would love to use
in GNOME, however I am okay with using GNOME without it due to the many
benefits GNOME provides.
These are old changes I made while I was still using bspwm. Although
bspwm is an amazing window manager, I feel like the simplicity of GNOME,
as well as how customizable it can be, negates any potential benefits
one can achieve with bspwm and its vast configuration possibilities.
As one example, alttab is a cool piece of software that brings the
concept of alt-tabbing to window managers like bspwm, however, GNOME is
already capable of doing this and does so in a more elegant way, showing
views of the windows you're alt-tabbing between.
This appears to fix an issue where the screen would occasionally flicker
after resuming from dpms' screen blanking feature. So far I have not
observed any significant performance degradations.

This likely fixes an issue I had earlier, although I don't remember what
it was. In any case, this change is a positive one since toggling the
bar is now instantaneous as well.
Since the device we're using is normal DPI, we have to manually adjust
these two values. Note that the rest of the setup is mostly automated
when it comes to determining the size of things.
