Force Blur
A KWin script to force-enable KWin Blur effect on user-specified windows.
This is more useful than shell script hacks, because KWin script receives event notification and window info from KWin. This can also fix tray-based apps, which loses blur hints when restored from system tray.
System Requirement
-
Operating System:
- (K)Ubuntu 18.10 or newer
- Fedora 29 or newer
- Arch Linux - kwin 5.14 or newer
-
Make sure you're using "Blur" desktop effect, which can be enabled through System Settings.
-
This script internally calls
xprop
command, which would be already installed on your system. -
X11 display server (the script does not support wayland applications)
How to Use
-
Install the script.
-
Run the following in terminal, to enable script configuration:
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/kservices5/ cp ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/forceblur/metadata.desktop ~/.local/share/kservices5/forceblur.desktop
-
Open
Kwin Scripts
page inSystem Settings
. -
Enable
Force Blur
script by checking the checkbox next to it. -
Change script settings. Note that the script can only match with window classes.
-
Click
OK
to enable the script. -
Whenever settings are changed, you must disable and re-enable the script.
(Uncheck ->Apply
-> Check ->Apply

Since the author is not often here, I will try to help you
For example: You open System Settings
Right click> More Actions> Special Window Settings> Appearance & Fixes> Active opacity and Inactive opacity (to mark),> Force> Then, open the Windows Matching window (to see the correct application name), in this case: systemsettings
Then you go to System Settings> Wind Management> Kwin Scripts> Force Blur> Configure> Enter System Setting> ok> (Uncheck -> Apply -> Check -> Apply)
So for every application you want it to be Blur
Let me know if you made it!

It was hard to uninstall it because first I installed it by downloading the .kwinscript file and using the "Install from file". Then I tried re-installing it by using the "Get new scripts..." option and by installing with ocs-url and ocs-store, but the "Configure option" still didn't show up, finally I installed it via pamac (AUR) and there it was the cute button. Everything is working as intended, thanks a lot!
