GEDIT TRANSPARENCY INSTALL

To undo the effect of the patch after installing it force reinstall the repo versions of Mutter and related packages (below applies to Ubuntu 21.10, package names may differ on other distros): sudo apt install mutter gir1.Seems reinstalling ubuntu-desktop fixed it for real, ibus is now in GTK_IM_MODULE for new users.

GEDIT TRANSPARENCY CODE

There you’ll find all the code and all the commentary you’ll need to get things up and running on your desktop. If you’re interested in trying it out yourself dart over to the GitHub page. This can be remedied by using a GTK theme with transparent elements (like Fluent Blur), and setting the opacity to 100% in the settings app.Īlso, the rounded bottom corners may, theme dependent, look a bit obvious - but it’s better than nothing, and when paired with the right kind of GTK theme it delivers a dramatic look that’s hard to achieve otherwise.

GEDIT TRANSPARENCY WINDOWS

On the blur/transparent side the entire window is affected by default, not just ‘parts’ of it (as is the case on macOS or Windows 11). This is an extreme customisation and the end result isn’t without compromise. That said, it isn’t exactly difficult to do (and, more importantly undo) either: clone a repo, run a build-script inside, install the patched. It’s an involved process that affects a core part of the OS. So would I recommend the feint-hearted try to install mutter-rounded? No. Lots of scope for mix-and-match customisation. Additionally, you can exclude apps from the border radius rule too.

I like that you have to explicitly opt apps/windows in to the blur effect. Although gsettings are enabled during install, I found using the nifty Mutter Rounded Settings app the easiest way to adjust blur intensity, opacity, and brightness: It’s entirely configurable Mutter Rounded also allows you to render GTK windows transparent and apply a blur over what lays beneath.
