what is "beyond active"?

what would happen is that just like plasmoids, the panel would export that it 
doesn't want a standard background, the panel view then would disable 
background, shadow and blur behind (limitation would be that you couldn't have 
a blur behind with another shape/size, you would have to just disable it)
