[Blueprint focus-blur] Blur wallpaper when there are open windows

 

Blueprint changed by Cassidy James:

Whiteboard changed:
  Status:
-  * Blur support is already there, but there's currently no way to detect if there are any windows on the screeen/workspace. Might be done with some focus tricks maybe, or just by walking libwnck's window list.

  Things to think about:
  
   * Blur handling:
       - we use crossfading to the pre-rendered blurred image for transition - when to blur it and how store it?
       - we need the blur radius to be adaptive to screen size - what's the exact formula?
       - when using several monitors, blur the pic only once for the largest screen and scale it to fit the others
+ 
+ While this is a nice concept, there are other things we need to focus on
+ right now. Deferring to L+1.
