Feature Request: Blur my shell integration
Hi! I'm Just dropping in and touching base with a feature request. Is it possible to add blur my shell integration? I know the extension currently uses ImageMagick to get a blur effect. Poking around the blur my shell extension shows it can blur the original dash2dock extension. This could potentially add seamless integration into all operating systems and wouldn't require the installation of other software to achieve the same effect. :)

I like the idea, but honestly I feel the dock is getting over complicated. We need a simple working dock with minimal features. We don't need it to get any more complex. Function over fashion.
I renamed this dash2dock animated from dash2dock lite --- in a change of philosophy for this project. I agree, with too many features --- too many potential breakables especially whenever Gnome updates.
Dash2Dock (the OG dock) is the next option if we want to have a stable dock. From what I understand it has been very stable since it broke at Gnome 40.
Dash2Dock Animated (or lite)... aims now to be eye candy and stable.
Blur-my-shell looks really nice - I contacted the author once before, he was willing to add support to dash2dock lite. However, at the moment blur-my-shell cannot handle rounded corners very well. (due to gnome limitation perhaps).

We have so many features now. It's an amazing dock. We still can use other extensions to complete any look we want. I don't want this to become to much of a hassle for you. I'd cry if you became overwhelmed with this project and the wants of others. This dock is as close to perfect as it can get for an stock looking dock with some incredible features.

Hey Iceman, I currently use rounded window corners reborn for the rounded corner stuff. It forces all apps to have rounded corners. Apologies for the delay in response, getting ready to start a New Degree program is insanely time consuming. I don't remember my Associates Degree enrollment process being this complex. lol
Has there been any progress on this ?
Hello! Apologies to everyone for vanishing! I am still monitoring updates of this extension, but haven't been able to contribute fully. Once I have some downtime I will build a virtual machine to test this extension with. I currently bit the bullet and bought a Mac for my college work. Given the current state of Windows, I'll probably make a complete migration to Linux soon for research purposes.
