wayland_window_background_blur = false

When combined with window_background_opacity, enables background blur using the Wayland background effect protocol.

This can be used to produce a translucent window effect rather than a crystal clear transparent window effect.

This effect can be achieved by adding the following to the configuration:

config.window_background_opacity = 0.4
config.wayland_window_background_blur = true

Note

Wayland compositors may need to have blur enabled explicitly. e.g. on KDE Plasma, enable the Blur plugin in Window Effect settings.
