Tested in gnome-shell 40.5, should works in gnome 40 and 41.

integrate the blur effects with rounded corners.The source code can be found [here](https://github.com/yilozt/mutter).

__Issues__:

- It can be buggy with blur effect. see [https://github.com/aunetx/blur-my-shell](https://github.com/aunetx/blur-my-shell). If you are using intel driver in Xorg session, try create `.drirc` in your home directory to disable Vertical Synchronization: 
  ```xml
  <device screen="0" driver="dri2">
      <application name="Default">
          <option name="vblank_mode" value="0"/>
      </application>
  </device>
  ```
  ## For Nvidia and AUR
  - you need to do makepkg --nocheck -si or it will fail the checks at the end.

- The original shadows of rounded windows has been cutted out, now use `MetaShadowFactroy` to draw shadows for rounded windows. So the animation effect of shadows in some themes has gone.
