Love that you fixed the shadows on gtk programs. However is there anyway to blur firefox without blurring the web view.

I got the program to blur successfully if I have Spotify open. but when I close and reopen, the blur effect disappears and I have to manually reapply the script again. Is there a workaround for this? (Thank you for your work)

Is something with similar functionality possible in wayland? Or could be possible in future?

Is there anyway to get rid of the blur thats outside gtk program windows?

I just updated the script. It now comes with an option called "Blur only content of window", which solves this exact problem.

This was implemented some time ago, but, due to how it works, it might cause some performance issues, so I had to test it extensively. It has been perfectly fine, so I'm pushing it now, but will disable it by default due to the risk.

This is intended for people not understanding why the configure option is not available after installing "Force Blur".

Apparently the owner of the package forgot to mention that it's required from the user to execute two commands, which are mentioned below, for the configure button to appear next to the about button.

Execute the following commands:
1. mkdir -p ~/.local/share/kservices5/
2. cp ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/forceblur/metadata.desktop ~/.local/share/kservices5/forceblur.desktop

Sorry for the inconvenience. Somehow Pling stopped displaying README.md from the git repository. I restored the option.

I am glad you noticed this comment and fixed the issue preventing pling from pulling the README.md from the official repository! Also, thank you for creating such beautiful Kwin script! :)

Hi, I just updated the script. You can now choose blacklisting mode from the options. Note that blur effect traditionally has caused performance issues w/ graphics-heavy apps like video players and games. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but I recommend testing them before working on anything serious.
