The video quality is not good enough. I tried in my system and dont notive any Blur trailing. 1. Send me your layout file please 2. Are you using latest daily git version or your version is old ? 3. Can you send a video link that its quality is much better and the issue is demonstrated in more detail in it? for example with a brighter background that contains a lot of details in order for the blur to be easily noticed.

Here is a link to the video, could not attach two files: https://imgur.com/a/nr0jZSx I used the latte-dock-git package from the Arch User Repository. I'm not sure if it's up-to-date or not. Git commit 7672202b4cae936251ae5608873eb106685086ee by Michail Vourlakos. Committed on 29/05/2020 at 13:45. Pushed by mvourlakos into branch 'master'. decrease Blur area update interval --was changed to 60Hz from 20Hz and also the first call is immediately draw and then the timer in triggered in order to block all other calls. Hopefully this will be enough for smooth moving blurring areas.

You can test it out when it reaches your distro in order to provide feedback. Thanks. But the latte-dock-git package hasn't been maintained for months. I'll just build from source. |
