Burn-My-Windows VS blur-my-shell

For those on Linux (on GNOME and KDE, at least), experimentation is still alive and well in https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows#readme.

This is the first time, one of my extensions (Burn-My-Windows) broke on a new version of GNOME Shell for plenty of users and I failed to notice this in advance. And the breaking changes in GNOME Shell and Mutter were pushed more than five months ago!

I don't think that is currently possible, or at least I'm not aware of any option to make it behave like so. I guess you can ask on the project's discussion page about it.

The update is available for all GNOME versions since 3.36, including GNOME 44! Read the full changelog here.

Plasma has wobbly windows built in still.

I am developing extensions for Linux which add fancy animations for opening and closing application windows. A couple of days ago, I decided to create matching wallpapers for show-casing the effects! First time using Midjourney, but I am very pleased with the results.

Btw, I've written a tutorial for creating BMW effects: https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows/blob/main/docs/how-to-create-new-effects.md

However, for some reason, I cannot upload the new effect to the KDE store currently. Until this is fixed, you can download the KDE version of the new effect from Github (https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows/releases/tag/v23)

GNOME Extensions : quick-settings-tweaker, appindicator and KStatusNotifier, arcmenu, blur-my-shell, dash-to-panel, forge, gsconnect, just-perfection, show-desktop-button, space-bar, user-themes and vitals

You can install blur my shell extension to modify the look.

if you want blurred backgrounds, the extension blur my shell will work.

Why don't you just look at the source code? https://github.com/aunetx/blur-my-shell

Blur my Shell - Blurs the background in the overview.

dnf install gnome-browser-connector Firefox extension: {addons.mozilla.org} - Resource Monitor • Show system resources in the top bar - User Themes • Custom themes (may break some things) - Dash To Dock • turns the application launcher into a macos style dock - Blur My Shell • make the UI glassy

In my case, I'm using the Blur My Shell extension, so it basically takes whatever background image I have and places it in the overview with a blur effect (though you can also remove the blur completely and just use the extension to set your background as your overview background). By default it will blur a lot of things around your desktop, like the top bar, for instance— just disable anything you don't want; I personally only leave the Overview blur active.
