Unity3D : Blur the background of a UI canvas

问题:

I'm trying to reproduce the (now common famous) blur effect on the background of a UI window for my game in Unity3D.

One of the best examples I can think of right now is Heroes Of The Storm, notice how the background of the Level Up panel blurs what's behind it :

Is there any way to reproduce the same effect with the recently-added Canvas in Unity3D? I know there is a way to do so by using a camera, but I'm not really familiar with the whole thing, especially when it comes to making it work with the new UI system.

Thanks.

Here's a shader script that works nicely for me.

I modified this one a little. Added tint color and UI compatibility. Although while using on UI is possible, makes UI before it invisible.
