### Description
As stated, and this issue persists in xray or non-xray (the default) mode
The three pics above are non-xray, xray and blur-off modes respectively (it is also curious to me that it seems the jagged edges having different colors in non-xray and in xray modes).
### Expected Behavior
I would expect a more smooth border rendered on the border.
### Steps to Reproduce
Turn on the blur option in dms settings and then invoke the quick control panel (and look closely enough).
### Error Messages/Logs

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the jagged quick control panel border with blur enabled, comparing non-xray, xray, and blur-off modes on the reported Arch Linux and niri setup. Trace the quick control panel and its blur setting first; done means the panel border renders smoothly and consistently across those modes.
