Installation

Official

Install blyr using the official repository: extensions.gnome.org

Manual

git clone https://github.com/yozoon/gnome-shell-extension-blyr.git
cd gnome-shell-extension-blyr/
make local-install

Now just restart the Shell and enable the extension.

To remove the extension just run:

make local-uninstall

Troubleshooting

Some Ubuntu users reported that the preferences dialog didn't appear after opening it from the GNOME Tweaks application. To fix the issue install the gtkclutter bindings as follows:

sudo apt install gir1.2-gtkclutter-1.0

gnome-shell-extension-blyr's Issues

Error Gnome 3.38

Can't install this extension under gnome 3.37.92 (3.38), gives an error.

[Multiple displays] Panel blur is shown incorrectly on primary display, but correctly if secondary display is default

Describe the bug
I have a two display system, with my main display being Diplay 1 (the horizontal monitor). When I try to activate blyr for the main panel, a fraction of the panel's background (around a third of it) is both blurred and darkened, while the rest of it remains the same.

This is using my main display as primary:

This is using my secondary display as primary:

This is using Transparent Top Bar. The combination of both worked just fine until last Blyr's update.

I also tested with a variety of other "transparent panel" extensions (except Dynamic Panel Transparency, because they lack 3.36 support). All with the same result (only a third of the panel is blurred + darkened) on my main display.

Expected behavior
The panel on the main display should be blurred normally.

Configuration (please complete the following information):

• GNOME Shell version: 3.36.3
• Fedora 32, fully updated
• Xorg session
• Dash to Dock, Transparent Top Bar (link above), Remove Drop Down Arrows?

Just in case, system specs:

• CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X
• 16GB RAM
• GPU: AMD RX5700XT

The top panel is redrawn when the screen lock is on and monitors change

Describe the bug
When the screen lock is on, the top panel is shown with a different brightness and blurriness over the rest of screen lock when monitors change. For instance, this happens even when you lock the screen on a laptop, then close the lid to make the screen turn off and then open the lid again.

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Blur doesn't refresh on slideshow

Describe the bug
When you use Showell (or any other app) to set a desktop slideshow, Blyr doesn't immediately reload the blurred wallpaper when the wallpaper automatically changes.

Expected behavior
Blyr refresh the blurred wallpaper just when the slideshow change.

Configuration

• GNOME 3.36.2
• Ubuntu 20.04
• Xorg 7.7
• Dynamic Panel Transparency, User Themes, Ubuntu Dock

Feature Request: Implement Kawase Blur Algorithm

Using Wayfire, it is possible to select various types of blur. One of the is Kawase Blur, which apparently is also used in MacOs and Windows 10, looks really stunning and should also be way more efficient. A video showing more details can be found here: https://youtu.be/AN-cVA_tCR0

It would be great to see the Kawase Blur algorithm being used by Blyr extension :)

Gives error on install on ubuntu 18.10 with gnome 3.30

its not working on gnome 3.30 on ubuntu 18.10

Blyr lags a lot

When using Blyr the blur effect causes alot of lag. This shouldn't happen since this computer is capable of running Windows Aero and anyways the blur effect only needs to be done one.GPU is AMD Radeon 7640G running Arch Linux

Blur is still reset, the developer he doesn’t care how his product works! 😡

No response from the developer, duplicate issue.

POT file out of date

I'd like to make Polish translation, but POT file is outdated. Please update it.

Add Support for Dash-to-dock extension

Please make blyr compatible with this extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/307/dash-to-dock/

Feature request: separated panel and overview blur brightness

Since this extension blends with dynamic transparent panel, I would like to let dynamic transparent panel control the panel's brightness.

However, panel and overview's blur brightness is always the same, which makes the panel always be darker than expected which in use with dynamic transparent panel.

So, I would like to request separated panel and overview blur brightness settings. Thanks.

Using two monitors the blur is applied to secondary display

Using two monitors the blur is applied to secondary display, primary background stays as is.
Ubuntu 17.10 daily

Lag when pressing super + a (show all applications)

Awesome filter thanks for the extension!

Ubuntu 16.04.2 GNOME 3.20 dell xps13 2017
When I press the show all applications button/super + A it lags really long. About 0,5 seconds.

Unnecessarily heavy, idea for improvement

Since the blur is not dynamic I don't see why it needs to be computed on the go.

Why not generate two images one with half and one with full blur (according to user settings) and fade between original - half - full when needed and just use the masked full for the panel?

The quality of the blur animation with this low spec workaround is not as good but it's just as close and hard to tell difference in quick animations.

Cinnamon

Does Cinnamon uses Gnome Shell?
As Cinnamon is a fork of Gnome, could this extension work on it?

TypeError: this.settings is undefined

I see this error in https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ after installation. I did not have this error previously when I installed it as sudo. Presently, I have installed Blyr in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions. Source of download is https://extensions.gnome.org/extension-data/blyr%40yozoon.dev.gmail.com.v5.shell-extension.zip

I don't understand this error. I confirm that Blyr is not working with this error. What should I do next to resolve this TypeError?

Blur on dock please!

I want request the blur effect on gnome dock ,like OS X ,when the bar is half transparent.

Blur is reset.

Blur is reset if you are in a review when the desktop wallpaper changes.
Or when changing the time at the clock of the program Variety -> every minute there is a change of the desktop image. Is there an opportunity to fix this?

And when rebooting the system, the background becomes gray before restarting Gnome Shell.

Some code called array.toString() on a Uint8Array instance. Previously this would have interpreted the bytes of the array as a string, but that is nonstandard. In the future this will return the bytes as comma-separated digits. For the time being, the old behavior has been preserved, but please fix your code anyway to explicitly call ByteArray.toString(array).
(Note that array.toString() may have been called implicitly.)

Broken blur

Actually is not that bad... :)

Well, this happens in both wayland and X.

Details:
Fedora 26
GNOME Shell 3.24.3
Radeon HD 7520G (radeon module)

Is there anything I should try?

Panel is not affected

The extension only changes the activities overview, ie
Activities ooption works as intended
Activities + panel changes only activities
Panel doesnt do anything

Expected behavior
Panel is also changed

Configuration (please complete the following information):

Blur on panel is applied as panel is on top of screen

Describe the bug
I use Dash-to-Panel on bottom of my screen, when I set the blur to Activities+Panel or Panel, its shows the top part of my background blurred, on bottom panel. Also, blur isn't applied at all when panel is on left/right of the screen.

Expected behavior
Its blur my background properly, accordingly to my panel position on screen.

Configuration (please complete the following information):

• GNOME Shell 3.36
• Tested on Arch, Fedora 32 Silverblue, Fedora 31 Workstation (this one with Gnome 3.34)
• Wayland
• Dash-to-Panel

Screenshots

• Properly blurred with panel on top
• Panel on bottom, blurred as it's on top

Blur under windows

This issue is more about new extension idea than new feature.

Blur is a lack for Gtk, not only for Gnome-shell. Is it possible to localize blur under, and only under, opened windows ? In combination with transparent background in gtk windows (like gnome-terminal or with css theme for other applications), that would be an awesome trick.

When I open workspace overview while gnome-terminal is open and blyr extension enabled, I can see blur background under gnome-terminal windows thumbnail.

Cant enable the extension shows "typeError : src is null"

](url)

Panel and Activities at same brightness levels

The panel is normally darker without this extension but is there a way to have it the same brightness as the activities background if I use identical settings?
Example: i have the panel brightness set to 0.44 and the activities brightness set to 0.30 so they look the same brightness.

And if this can be done, if I select "Activities + Panel", the 2 sliders are locked?

Broken lock screen (bug)

On occassion, the top panel of the lock screen shows my desktop background (blurred) instead of the lock screen wallpaper.

Expected behavior
Blur the lock screen top panel background instead of the cached desktop background.

Blur effect disappears when turning display off/on

Description

I often leave a machine for varying periods and turn off the display instead of suspending the system. The blur effect is gone when I turn the display back on, even if it was only off for a second. No artifacts, just gone, always reproducible, seemingly nothing of interest in logs. Extension must be toggled to bring it back.

Expected behavior

The blur effect should persist as long as the extension is on.

Configuration

• Gnome 3.36.3
• Ubuntu 20.04.1
• Xorg
• Radeon RX 550
• I have no way of knowing what other extensions may interact. The only other one related to compositing is "Transparent window", though that effect happily persists. All others are typical -- Dash to dock, Activities configurator, Openweather, etc.

Blyr doesn't detect when the height of the topbar has been manually modified

I changed the height of the panel in my themes css. The overlay you create to fake the blur applies as if the topbar was the unmodified height causing it to overlap with windows. Toggling the blyr extension off & on again makes the problem go away but it seems to come back on restart.

Things that come to mind as possibly making my setup an edge case are; I'm using the GTK title bar extension, the No title bar, and my display res is 2560 * 1440, which forces me to use 200% scaling.

I'm using the Macterial GTK & Shell theme

Integrate Blyr with Dash to Panel

Please integrate Blyr with Dash To Panel extension, including notifications section.

Gnome 3.32

I would like to know if this will work on gnome 3.32

blyr doesn't let the panel show correctly when this is moved to the left side

Describe the bug
When the panel is shown at the left side of the screen (which can happen, for instance, when dash to panel is being used), the clutter actor that contains the blurred background overlaps the desktop making it inactive.

Configuration (please complete the following information):

• GNOME Shell version (e.g. 3.36.2)

[V7] Graphic garbage on secondary monitors when using scaling.

Describe the bug
Right to left (see conf below) First monitor (#2) : display is ok. Others (#1, #3) do not blur except background scaled on approx 1/8 of the screen area and pushed top-left, and duplicate parts of screen, randomly (see screen photo below).

Disabling blyr does not stop the garbage, one have to close gnome session to kill gnome-shell.

Expected behavior
Well, a nice gentle blur on all screens.

Configuration (please complete the following information):

• GNOME Shell version 3.36
• Distribution: Up to date Arch.
• Wayland.
• List of installed extensions that might interfere with the function of this extension : all disabled.
• Radeon R? 580, amdgpu mesa driver
• I have 3 monitors : 1680x1050, 4K, 1 FullHD. For some reason, wayland often decides that the first one is its main monitor. Worth noting 4K one is scaled at 125%.

Screenshots

Additional context
V6 did work well, even on 3.36.

No adaptation of dynamic Wallpaper

Manjaro 20.1
Gnome 3.36
Xorg

Using a dynamic wallpaper causes the background of the overview to be a blurred snapshot of the wallpaper which remains static.
Screenshots are attached. The used xml file can be found on my github page, as it is not supported as an attachment.

Add blur to semi-transparent windows (Feature Request)

Expected behavior
Add a blurred background layer that sits behind the window to create a blurred background illusion.

3.26.2?

Hello,

Pardon my newbie question. But I'm using gnome shell version 3.26.2, I wonder if Blyr will work, because in the extensions.gnome, it shows only for 3.24.3.

Thanks.

wallpaper replaced with white background in overview.

it seems to go away sometimes if i deactivate the extension and reactivate, but it comes back every time i resume from suspend.

i'm running the master branch on fedora 27 with gnome 3.26.2, manually installed.
i'm also using the google earth wallpaper gnome shell extension, in case that matters.
