A GNOME Shell extension that adds a blur look to different parts of the GNOME Shell, including the top panel, dash, overview, and popups. It offers static and dynamic blur pipelines with configurable colors and per-component toggles.
Use cases
- blur the GNOME top panel
- add blur to the activities overview
- make the dash or dock translucent with a blur effect
- blur notification popups and menus in GNOME
- customize the look of GNOME Shell with transparency effects
- disable panel blur automatically in fullscreen or overview
When to choose
- you use GNOME Shell on Linux and want a modern blurred/glassmorphism aesthetic
- you want fine-grained control over which shell components get blurred
- you use Dash to Dock or Dash to Panel and want compatible blur effects
When to avoid
- you use a desktop environment other than GNOME Shell
- you need a lightweight setup and cannot tolerate shell extension overhead or occasional breakage after GNOME updates
