[REQ] It would be nice to add blur for current screen!

[sentakuhm]

Now blur working perfectly thanks to hyprlock, it would be gr8 too if path is empty or missing returns blur to current screen.

background {
    monitor =
    #path = /home/.../...
    color = rgba(20, 20, 20, 1.0)
    blur_passes = 3 # 0 disables blurring
    blur_size = 10
    noise = 0.0117
    contrast = 0.8916
    brightness = 0.8172
    vibrancy = 0.1696
    vibrancy_darkness = 0.0
}

?

[sentakuhm]

when there is no image screenlock became transparent color if rgba(..,..,..,0.8) or take solid , or i am wrong in config?

You need to set path = screenshot and it will take a screenshot before locking

A live blur is not possible afaik as the session behind the lockscreen isn't visible but is instead blocked off by a red screen, and that would be seen instead

[sentakuhm]

this is what i am asking for, i wont add path= ..., and blur current screen.

[vaxerski]

so you want the default for path= to be screenshot? no, because it's the color.

[alba4k]

well I mean, it could replace the color which would also make sense

[sentakuhm]

like this:

[vaxerski]

yeah set path to screenshot

[sentakuhm]

screenshot

my bad, thank you very much!!

[sentakuhm]

OMG! this is very nice

[bvr-yr]

but is it planned to allow blur for ARGB color? just like for layer-shell currently underlying screen is not locked when alpha < 1

oh, if you set color to a value with an alpha < 1 it becomes invisible?

Can I get your config?

[bvr-yr]

i mean if background is color and alpha < 1, there is no blur should it be in the first place? or it is intended, and only still image get blurred

there is no huge need in such thing, actually screenshot is totally ok as it saves a lot of resources on laptop (screenlock implies AFK), just curious this is bug or feature

that's one from the video

general {
    grace = 10
}

background {
    monitor = eDP-1
    color = rgba(40, 40, 40, 0.5)
    blur_passes = 3
    blur_size = 7
    noise = 0.0117
    contrast = 0.8916
    brightness = 0.6172
    vibrancy = 0.8696
    vibrancy_darkness = 0.0
}

label {
    monitor = eDP-1
    text = <b>WTF</b>
    color = 0xFFD4BE98
    font_size = 100
    font_family = FiraCode Nerd Font Med
    position = 0, 0
    halign = center
    valign = center
}

input-field {
    fade_on_empty = true
    position = 0, -200
}

[bvr-yr]

there is no blur

should i open issue for that (bug/req)?

[vaxerski]

you need to add screenshot as path=. There is no blur because there isn't anything to blur.

[bvr-yr]

that's why i asked if it is intended, as i thought blur would work in the same manner as with layer-shell with transparent pixels

[vaxerski]

no it will not work like that
