I implemented partial support for background transparency in Emacs reddit / emacs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EliannaReliaba · 2022-07-13 05:26 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- fromadarkcontinent · 2022-07-13 05:47 Nice work but background transparency is kinda built into emacs. Emacs 29 has support for variables alpha-background and X resource alphaBackground that control the opacity of text background when running on a composited display. I don't know about blur thought. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TheFrenchPoulp · 2022-07-13 05:50 You can get blurring with your compositor, it just needs transparent frames But I've been looking for a way to blur Emacs on macOS and I don't think that exists just yet ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MitchellMarquez42 · 2022-07-13 05:54 Does this work on Windows/Mac? Right now I'm using the `alpha-background` frame parameter, but it has no effect on windows even with the latest build (that I could find online, 29.0.50). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MitchellMarquez42 · 2022-07-13 05:55 u/repostsleuthbot EDIT: nearly all of OP's comments are just asking for karma ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RepostSleuthBot · 2022-07-13 05:55 I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/emacs. It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results. *I'm not perfect, but you can help.
