I'm writing an iOS 10 app.
I have a view (let's call it overlayView) that overlays another view (let's call it backgroundView).
backgroundView has some color in it.
I can easily get the overlayView to blur the backgroundView, but that ends up making the colors in backgroundView look pretty dull (no matter which blur style I use). So, what I can't figure out is how to make the colors in the backgroundView look vibrant though the overlayView.
For example, if you pull the notification center down over your home screen background and app icons, the colors really pop through the notification center and they look very vibrant (not dull)...that's what I want.
To be clear, I'm not talking about how to add vibrant labels on top of a blur view like the Today widgets and stuff. I know how to do that with a vibrancy effect view inside the blur effect view.
I want to know how to get the colors in backgroundView to pop through overlayView...I want them to look vibrant. It seems that the only way to use vibrancy is to pass things into a vibrancy view that's inside of a blurred view. That won't work for me. And I don't want to use a "snap shot" of the backgroundView and insert it into a vibrancy view. I think that would be a mess.
Any ideas on how I can accomplish my goal?
