</span>it would be cool if the VDG could also look into a non-blur variant for the<br>
appdash. I'm still very concerned about the full screen blur as the KWin<br>
effect is not designed for this [1] and with increasing screen sizes the<br>
problem that KWin is not designed for this becomes more and more a problem.<br>
<br>
Also the appdash is almost unusable without a blur effect (which for example<br>
happens with GLES, XRender and QPainter backends).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>How about generating blurred wallpaper at some point, storing it</div><div>and then using that as background?
