Top 3 C++ Blur Projects

TranslucentTB

92 14,333 9.1 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.

ExplorerBlurMica

8 935 6.7 C++

Add background Blur effect or Acrylic (Mica for win11) effect to explorer for win10 and win11

Project mention: Get an acrylic and mica effect in Windows 10 Explorer using ExplorerBlurMica | /r/desktops | 2023-04-30

kImageAnnotator

9 76 7.4 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.
