GLKView can have transparency, so we should see how tricky it is for an MGLMapView to do this also, if parts of the style (e.g. water) have transparency.

Can't wait for MGLMapView to be backed by a UIVisualEffectView!

1ec5 commented 8 years ago

Setting the GLKView’s layer.opaque = NO was all that was required to make this work. Here’s an MGLMapView inside a vibrant+blurry UIVisualEffectView atop an AVPlayerLayer playing an MP4 movie:

(In Studio, I started with the Empty template, set the background layer’s opacity to 0, then added a translucent blue water layer.)
