after installing version 6.2.38-20231127.2120, the situation has not changed - everything is also blurred after adjusting the brightness with gestures

Thanks for reporting. This is not something I reproduce on my set of devices unfortunately.

Question: if you change brightness through nova not using the gestures (i.e. the player brightness UI button on top), does it yield to that same blurring effect?

[phantom2983]

if I change the brightness of the screen not through gestures, then the specified defect is not observed

OK poking in the dark following random black magic Internet propositions (making window with transparent background and using FLAG_DIM_BEHIND instead of FLAGS_CHANGED): could you please test this apk and report if it kills the blur? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Aq7oMeoSsurM8Vv7p1QCiuCWmbSy-vhA/view?usp=sharing
