Adding in blur to Gala #79

Open rbreaves opened 4 years ago

rbreaves commented 4 years ago

Given that many xfce users enjoy using compton, or now picom, as their compositor some of us have grown used to having terminals with the blur effect. I am not sure if this code would enable the blur feature to terminals or if it requires additional work, but it would be nice to see this modification added into this version.

This is something that I've looked at implementing as you say the elementary guys have already done the work and I have pulled it across, at the minute I don't think it's something I want to include in the OS as it's far to resource consuming but after this release I will visit it again and see if it could be included in 0.4.1

That would be pretty sweet, and in a VM I agree that it wouldn't likely be worth including, although for some reason I think Compton with a blur performs better in a VM when the host machine is macOS instead of Windows 10 lol. Not sure what that is about.
