ok so i got that but how do i restrict the blur to just an area like a box? also sorry for looking like a kid someone spilt something on my keyboard and I have sticky keys
Blur will limit itself to the size of your panel.
As for time, there is a perfect example in that link. Systemtime in panel init.
Set a var when you make the panel, use that time in the blur. Or even a second before for fun effect I'd guess.
