Mutter merged an implementation of this protocol a few weeks ago: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/5071.

The author also made a fun demo of this: https://files.catbox.moe/q3ut43.mp4 (comment link).

I recall we asked for this like, 10'ish years ago. I don't even use gnome anymore, lmao

I thought GNOME policy was that they didn't want to have blur due to accessibility

It's very possible that GNOME isn't going to blur anything by default even if GTK supports it.

I would like suttle blurs instead of fades here and there, if it does not impact performance.

so when are we getting menu bars? and SSD?

[–] Vincent@feddit.nl 2 points 4 days ago

That's basically the same - GTK supports those, GNOME doesn't use them.
