(MacOS) Not working in fullscreen mode

Open yznts opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

OS Version: Catalina 10.15.7 VSCode Version: 1.54

Feature is not working only in fullscreen mode. Everything works fine for windowed mode.

Same here. I would very much like to have the feature available in full screen as well.

I guess this extension uses native OS blur effect which has a few optimization things like it is only available on one active window and it is also disabled in fullscreen mode. You can confirm this by opening any native app on Mac OS: for example, Xcode, that has sidebar with blur effect but it is gone when you in fullscreen mode. I do not think it is possible to get fixed. Btw, Windows OS's acrylic effect has similar limitations.

The macos vibrancy effect does not render the desktop wallpaper in fullscreen mode, but a solid color background. In my tests the effect was vary bad, so I turned it off in fullscreen mode.

In other software on macos (such as safari) the vibrancy effect is also turned off after full screen.

It started with vibrancy disappearing when out of focus now it's just gone when in fullscreen :/ Sometimes I regret updating software

In other software on macos (such as safari) the vibrancy effect is also turned off after full screen. That's quite strange. I see vibrancy effect on Safari. But when I'm setting another background with opened safari in fullscreen, that background in safari is not updating, only after turning fullscreen off/on. I think they "hacked" that somehow, f.e. with creating static dimmed and blured image and setting it as app background.
