Ivan MolodetskikhSo yeah, I'm working on blur for niri. I'm doing "xray blur" first where the idea is that you only include background surfaces, so you pretty much never have to redo the blur—next to zero perf impact unless you have a video wallpaper or smth.
Turns out that it's quite tricky to do well, especially with our Overview. I'm like on my third refactor attempt now but I think I've got a good approach.
During this video there's no reblurring whatsoever, all just drawing cached static textures.

Ivan MolodetskikhAdded non-xray blur, based on @drakulix@social.dreampi.es's Smithay/COSMIC implementation.
Keep in mind this blur work is still extremely WIP and with many issues (some visible on the video). It's also still not entirely clear to me how to best structure the code around it in niri. We'll see
