Apply to overview option doesn't work

[ddnexus]

That slows down the Overview a lot.

Ubuntu GNOME 17.04.

Does it not work, or is it just slow? It works fine for me.

Sorry, here is a better explanation. The blur option requires some CPU cycle to perform. That is unnoticeable when you switch from one window to the other. However when you switch to the Overview, it looks like the dynamic scaling of all the blurred windows in your screen requires a lot of CPU cycles, hence the scaling is not smooth at all and slowed down.

The solution would be just disabling the extension in overview mode (which is also preferable for other reasons). The problem is that unchecking the "Apply to overview" option has no effect: i.e. the overview get blurred and desaturated as the option would be checked. That is a better explanation to: "the overview option doesn't work". :)

That option is always applied regardless what you choose.

Hi, thanks everyone for keeping the project alive even if I didn't have much time to update it in the past months. However I still intend to reimplement the blur filter (currently it's using the clutter built-in one) with an opengl shader which will give more control over blur size/intensity and will use GPU (and hopefully perform better). I hope I'll be able to do this and look after the other bug reports in the next few weeks. Any help is in any case appreciated.

Aha, @ddnexus I thought you were saying that you weren't seeing any affects on the overview at all, the opposite of my other bug report! Sounds like we're after the same thing.

Thanks for your continued work @lviggiani!
