Enable blur on Lightpad #30

Open enzo-zsh opened 2 years ago

enzo-zsh commented 2 years ago

Hi Libredeb,

Is it possible to enable blue effect background on Lightpad ? (in /usr/share/lightpad/application.css) If is possible, can you send me directly the css file with "blur effect" inside.

Thanks a lot !

Regards !

Hi @Enzo-zsh, this topic is incredibly hard to solve... I'm tried with CSS without lucky (in this scenario when i put the blur property for some reason the background is turn to white). I'm tried also with Cairo code but is confusing to merge it with the launchpad code.

Alternatively i enabled the option to use a wallpaper or image instead of colored background (if you put a background in JPG or PNG format in the path: $HOME/.lightpad/background.png you can play with a blurred image).

I'm working in concepts and proof of concepts to try to implement this good feature.

Can we have a transparent or semi transparent background?
