What does this do?

It tells the DrawLooper to use layerPaint's version of everything instead of
paint's, when drawing this layer. See SkLayerDrawLooper::Bits here:

           ..setOffset(const Point(5.0, 5.0))

         (Paint layerPaint) {
-      layerPaint.setARGB(128, 55, 55, 55);
-      // TODO(mpcomplete): add blur filter
+      layerPaint.color = const Color.fromARGB(128, 55, 55, 55);
+      layerPaint.setMaskFilter(
+          new MaskFilter.Blur(BlurStyle.normal, 5.0, highQuality: true));
     })
     // Main layer.
     ..addLayerOnTop(new DrawLooperLayerInfo(), (Paint) {});
   paint.setDrawLooper(builder.build());
 
-  canvas.drawPaint(new Paint()..setARGB(255, 255, 255, 255));

   canvas.drawRect(new Rect.fromLTRB(-size, -size, size, size), paint);
