Window blur issue when changing workspaces

Open j-px opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Just got version 30 to test out the experimental app window blur, and it works! :tada: (at least partially).

I found out it's glitching when switching workspaces. For example, having gnome-terminal (must put gnome-terminal-server into prefs) blurred, then changing workspaces, and going back to Terminal's workspace can result in this:

Sorry for the terrible video quality, but I think GNOME Shell's built-in tools only encodes in VP8, and probably with a low bitrate too.

Oh and this is probably important too: I ran that on GNOME 42, with the currently latest updates for Fedora 36.

Thanks for opening the issue, and especially for testing the extension!

To be honest, the applications blur is kinda beta, I will put a warning about it in the preferences before finally releasing it to extensions.gnome.org...

I don't really know how I could (reliably) blur the apps during the workspace switch, or in overview, but it is the finality of that feature, of course. I think @CorvetteCole may be better than me about it, and @ckissane too obviously if he has some tips (he is the maintainer of Blur Me, which already blur the applications, although quite differently).

I can't do a lot of things myself right now to be honest, but if somebody wants to try something, don't hesitate about sending a PR!

Hello @JavkhlanK, this should have been fixed in last versions, is it the case?

Seems fixed! (Fedora Workstation 39, GNOME 45.1)
