[plasmashell] [Bug 422587] Ability to apply Gaussian Blur via Desktop Folder Settings App
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422587 Nate Graham changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|WAITINGFORINFO |INTENTIONAL Status|NEEDSINFO |RESOLVED --- Comment #4 from Nate Graham --- Thanks for the info. I don't think this is something we'll be supporting out of the box, but we do support 3rd-party wallpaper plugins for precisely this reason (personal preference, aesthetics, etc) and there's nothing stopping anyone from making a "blurry wallpaper" plugin. In fact, perhaps someone already has. Thanks for your understanding! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

And some examples of "Blur Wallpaper": https://hipwallpaper.com/blur-wallpapers/ I don't particularly like these but some do. Sometimes I use GIMP to lightly blur a busy background. As I said in my first post, it would be a nifty (and likely useful) feature, the ability to apply Guassian blur within the Desktop Configuration App. But it's just a feature request. Thanks for considering it. :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422587 --- Comment #2 from PGillespie --- Why would you want to blur your own wallpaper? 1.) The first answer is that I sometimes simply like the look of it. So. Aesthetics. Why allow someone to change icons? Global Themes? After all, one doesn't need anything other than the icons Plasma ships with. Different looking icons offer no tangible benefit. None. 2.) For the same reason that Google Gmail allows one to apply Gaussian Blur to a background image. I guess one could ask Google the same question. And obviously it's a useful and popular enough feature that A.) they introduced it and B.) they maintain it. The straightforward answer is that it makes text, appearing directly over a background image, more readable. For transparent themes without Gaussian blur, this is a nice way to accomplish the same effect. Wouldn't this just make it harder to see what it is? The point of background images isn't always "to see what it is", 3.) What's the use case? Precisely the same as the ability to change the Global Theme, Plasma Style, Application Style, Colors, Fonts and Icons. It's the same. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
