How do I make emacs translucent? Like transparency, with a blur, akin to what konsole has. Picture of what I want:
picom is a widely adopted compositor that has (too) many forks and the one I use supports blurring, shadows, corners and transparency: https://github.com/ibhagwan/picom

Picom-ibhagwan stopped working after restart?
I have picom-ibhagwan (https://github.com/ibhagwan/picom) installed via the xbps template for the rounded corners and dual kawase bliur. Everything was fine until I rebooted- and now I have no blur or rounded corners. I have no clue what gives. Any ideas?

How to get blur to work with picom?
I guess newer versions of picom supports the blur effect. I'm not sure though. Just a note you don't need to terminate the session for testing this. Just kill the running instance of picom and run picom again. This is how I run picom: picom --experimental-backends --backend glx --xrender-sync-fence and this is what I have for blur effects in my picom.conf file: blur: { # requires: https://github.com/ibhagwan/picom method = "kawase"; #method = "kernel"; strength = 17; deviation = 14; kernel = "11x11gaussian"; background = true; background-frame = true; background-fixed = true; kern = "3x3box"; }

How do you guys make good use of the app grid? I feel like I use it way less than I originally thought.
NOTE: If you're using a Wayland session, the Ctrl + Space shortcut (which brings up the launcher) will be unreliable due to other windows eating the keyboard events instead (see the official Ulauncher wiki). The workaround solution is very simple and also works on X11, so we'll replace Ulauncher's default binding with the workaround technique everywhere, so that it works universally on both X11 and Wayland.

What are some alternatives?
When comparing picom and Ulauncher you can also consider the following projects:
bspwm-rounded-corners - A tiling window manager based on binary space partitioning, with support for rounded corners. Very buggy - it's highly recommended to use an external compositor like picom instead.
albert - A fast and flexible keyboard launcher
picom - A lightweight compositor for X11 (previously a compton fork)
rofi - A huge collection of Rofi based custom Applets, Launchers & Powermenus.
picom-ibhagwan-template - Void Linux template file for xbps-src
rofi - Rofi: A window switcher, application launcher and dmenu replacement
picom - A lightweight compositor for X11
blur-my-shell - Extension that adds a blur look to different parts of the GNOME Shell, including the top panel, dash and overview
xfce-patches - Some patches for Xfce's components
i3 - A fork of the i3 window manager with gaps and some other features. :warning: i3-gaps has been merged into i3.
WhiteSur-gtk-theme - MacOS Big Sur like theme for Gnome desktops
