Hey,
I modified the bad_bloom shader because while I loved what it did to the colors I wasn't a huge fan of the aggressive blurring. I spent around an hour tinkering with the shader and I settled with only a couple minor changes:
* 7% increased brightness
* 33% reduced blur/distortion
no shader vs bad_bloom (default shader)

no shader vs less_bloom (modified shader)

I've also attached a less_bloom_no_blur that has the increased bloom brightness but almost entirely eliminates the blur/distortion. It's a nice alternative if you like a crisp looking UI but still want the bright colors.

Installation instructions:
1. Download the .txt files and save them to the Shaders folder in your Dolphin folder (Dolphin-x64\Sys\Shaders)
2. Rename the .txt file extension to .glsl
3. Open Dolphin and select the shader in Graphics > Enhancements (tab) > Post-Processing Effect (drop-down menu)
If you don't rename the .txt files to .glsl they won't show up in the drop-down menu.
