Bug ID: 395494 Summary: The new blur effect should be applied faster Product: kwin Version: 5.13.0 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: NOR Component: effects-various Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: tyx...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Issue: When moving a transparent window for somewhat of a larger distance, the new blur effect needs a small, but noticeable amount of time to actually apply the blur. This is nothing major, but it is distracting ie. my eye will always notice the blurring taking place in front of me. This is especially a problem if the background image has sharp details in it, such as text e.g. The contrast between the sharp details and the blurred ones is too strong. Also, there is a noticeable difference between how the blur works when moving a transparent window just a little bit or for a larger distance. I've made a video which demonstrates this difference: https://youtu.be/cNMyTHIZZXk Although it is actually a bit worse in a real environment because the video quality is not 100%, you can clearly see in the first portion of the video that when a window is moved to its new position it takes a bit of time for the blur to kick in. In the second part of the video the background is already nicely blurred when the window is placed in its new position. If technically possible, it would be great if the blur could be applied faster or if it could actually at least be applied gradually instead of going from 0 to 100. ____ KWin Version: 5.13.0 KDE Plasma Version: 5.13.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.47.0 Qt Version: 5.11.0 OS: Manjaro Linux -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
