Transparent Windows are like scifi where they print stuff on see through foil. How the fuck is anybody even able to read this?

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

That's why you want to add blur. I also don't understand unblurred transparent terminals.

Or, this might blow off the minds of some people, not using transparency.

I just boot straight into the terminal. No desktop, just the void staring at me full of possibilities.

I have my focused window opaque, the rest transparent+blur.

What's the difference between opaque and transparent+blur?

The difference between a wall and frosted glass.

Unblurred transparent terminals

Hi I might be your worst nightmare and this comment explains how I do it

I'm not sure why I prefer this, but I really like the "darkened background" rather than "blurred background" effect

Very simple actually: don't use 100% transparency.

Just use something like 80-90% opaque (10-20% transparent) and use the background color as black so it just dims whatever us behind it.

You can have both function and form.

Additionally use Kawase-Blur with a lot of blurring, and this is a non-issue.

In school I had a physics teacher who thought it was a good idea one day to use whiteboard markers on the glass windows instead of the whiteboard. I didn't learn anything that lesson.

That’s the neat part. You don’t.

Simple: only the out of focus apps have opacity set to 85-90%, the focused app is always 100%. Easy.
