Top 3 C++ Blur Projects

TranslucentTB

16 13,384 0.0 C++

A lightweight utility that makes the Windows taskbar translucent/transparent.

Project mention: I had to do it. | /r/pcmasterrace | 2023-06-02

Take a look at TranslucentTB. It makes your taskbar see through. Your icons are still there like normal, but the white bar itself is gone. This makes any desktop look way better imo.

kImageAnnotator

2 70 0.0 C++

Tool for annotating images

Project mention: Spectacle - cannot find cropping tools | /r/kde | 2023-05-02

Previously Spectacle used the kImageAnnotator library for the annotation function, so when that library got cropping support Spectacle got it too. For better or worse the new UI no longer uses that library, so I'm guessing the Spectacle devs will have to add in cropping support manually now. No clue if there are plans for it unfortunately, but I assume if work gets started on it there will be an update on that bug report.
