  • Introducing swayblur: a wallpaper auto blurring script for sway
    1 project | /r/swaywm | 8 Jan 2022
    swayblur is installable through pip, or through the NUR for those on nixos. It's a great way to still get that blurry goodness on transparent windows in sway. It can be animated as shown in the gif below, and requires the oguri wallpaper daemon to be running to avoid some issues with swaybg, which wasn't created with this use case in mind.
