Bug ID: 425139 Summary: Enabling blur effect does not cause non-qt windows to blur, even when they have semi-transparent elements Product: kwin Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: platform-wayland Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: sk.griffi...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Enabling blur effect does not cause non-qt windows to blur, even when they have semi-transparent elements STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Log in to plasma wayland session 2. Enable blur effect from System settings>Desktop Effects>blur 3. Apply a gtk theme with transparent elements such as Arc (https://github.com/jnsh/arc-theme) or Fantasma (https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1312446/) or custom Firefox css. OBSERVED RESULT The transparent regions in non-qt applications are not blurred EXPECTED RESULT All windows with transparent elements should be blurred SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I am aware that this was not implemented in X, but there were workarounds to make any window blurred. I could not find any such way in wayland, hence it is in a way a regression. However, it is very much possible since a wayland compositor named wayfire (https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire) already has a working implementation to blur every window -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
