[Request/Help] Plasma 6 Blur Window effect (lemmy.world)

18 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I've seen some really cool looking desktop effects related to blurring windows on plasma 5, they look really good, but I just can't seem to find solid info on how to replicate it in plasma 6.

I've tried downloading and installing quite a bit and researched the issue a long while before coming to this.

Does anyone have some solid info regarding this that you can link below? I'm running Bazzite 41 and can give further info if needed as well as a reference point for what effect I'm trying to achieve.

              Clone the repo
Install the dependencies
cd into the repo
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
make
sudo make install

Yeah I'm having an issue with the cmake command, I was able to install ecm, now I'm getting errors on finding dependencies for KF6

I'm stuck using the rpm-ostree command for this, and it doesn't seem to have the same options for installing dependencies as other tools do.

I'll have to take a look at it tomorrow, I'm beat.

I appreciate you, though

There is a note on GitHub for forceblur that states it will have to be built in a container as well. I'll have to find out what that means tomorrow

I've just realised you are running an immutable distro so it is going to be more complicated. I know pretty much nothing about immutable distros so can't help further. Sorry.

No worries homie, turns out I don't know anything about em either lmao. I got even further a moment ago, but ran into another thing. I think I'm going to throw in the towel and consider jumping into arch, pacman be looking mighty fine right about now
