[Feature Request] Application Blur | Option to ignore full screen windows
I'd like an option to if application blur is enabled on e.g all apps by default, ignore apps that are full screen, for example games etc.
Hello, I implemented a similar option in latest commits, that is ignoring focused windows (fullscreen or not). This way, the window you are working on (be it a game, IDE, firefox...) is not blurred so that you have good performances and legibility, and the background windows are blurred.
Is this okay for you?
This sounds okay but from some focused windows I need blurred screen, e.g., terminal or code editor where I want background blur. By this commit I'll lose blur effect on those use cases so technically it's like not using blur-my-shell.
Of course, this behaviour can be disabled in preferences. I plan to add per-window configuration about it, however that's quite hard to implement!
I will see about ignoring fullscreen windows too!
thx Aurelien. got to your extension specifically looking for this behaviour! Slightly bluring BG applicatons drives attention to the focused window and makes more obvious which one has keyboard focus. it kind of mimics atmospheric perspective, something i even tried to do and gave up as i lacked GJS skills to do.
