Expected behavior

Currently, there is the option to blur the background of windows.
Additionally, it would be nice if you could set the saturation of the background of windows to a value between 0 and 1. 0 means, the background is converted to gray values (summing up all color channels, then dividing by 3), 1 means, the background colors are left as they are. Values inbetween mean $saturation*color_image + (1-$saturation)*grayvalue_image.

Why

Especially for active windows with high transparency/low opacity (example: semi-transparent terminal emulator with vim running in it, aesthetics>usefulness), blurring much improves the readability of its content. Lowering the saturation would improve it even more.

Summary

Make a new option to decrease the saturation of backgrounds of transparent windows.
Makes stuff more readable, looks cool and makes compton even more unique.
Also should not be too hard to implement if you already know what's going on in the code.
