Changes

v1.3.6

Added support for Plasma 6.3.

v1.3.5 has been deleted as I forgot to bump the version in CMakeLists.txt.

v1.3.4

Hotfix for v1.3.3, which broke force blur for X11 windows with client-side decorations on Wayland.

v1.3.3

Fixed blur region for X11 windows with client-side decorations.

v1.3.2

Fixed build on KWin 6.1.90+.

v1.3.1

This version fixes some performance issues.

Changes

• Textures for anti-aliased rounded corners are no longer allocated when not necessary and they're also cached as well.

Bug fixes

• The desktop can no longer have a blur region when plasmashell is force-blurred. The desktop wasn't actually being blurred, but the blur region was used to determine which areas of the screen should be repainted.

v1.3.0

Bug fixes

• Blur can disappear during some animations (Plasma bug).

Changes

• Rounded corners look much better.
• Corner radius is multiplied by the screen scale.
• Corners aren't jagged anymore when scaled.
• Floating panels are now rounded properly.
• Non-floating panels aren't rounded anymore.

New features

• Anti-aliasing for rounded corners to make them even smoother. May be buggy when using scaling.
• Corner radius can be specified separately for menus and docks.

v1.2.1

Bug fixes

• Fixed context menu detection on Wayland. Menus won't be force blurred anymore if Blur menus is disabled (default).

Changes

• The Blur and Fake Blur tabs have been merged into the General tab.
• The Fake Blur setting has been renamed to Draw image behind windows instead of blurring.
• Added KWin development team to authors.

New features

• Added support for Plasma 6.1.

v1.2.0

Changes

• The configuration UI now uses tabs, as it was getting too large (#45)

New features

• Docks can now be blurred again (#28)
• Fake blur (#42)
  Fake blur works by drawing an already blurred image behind the window, which results in lower GPU load as KWin doesn't have to blur anything and it also doesn't have to paint everything behind the window. It won't work well with multiple screens unless they have the same wallpaper and resolution.
• Added a fix for artifacts when using a transparent color scheme (#38)
  This is not in bug fixes, as it's not caused by this effect. This fix is not necessary when using fake blur.
• There is now a wiki page explaining some of the configuration options.
