Description Christian Muehlhaeuser 2020-11-27 20:21:32 UTC
SUMMARY

Editing latte-dock's panel can often be a bit visually overwhelming, with the UI elements showing on top of existing desktop backgrounds and/or windows. They often tend to get a bit lost in the noise.

I think it would not only look cool to dim/blur the desktop while editing latte-dock's settings, it would also be beneficial from a UX standpoint, as it brings the latte's UI elements into focus.

sorry this is out of scope.. this is why you can adjust the canvas transparency in editing mode with your mouse scroll wheel.

Can you be a bit more specific, please: where am I supposed to be able to use the mouse wheel?

Interesting, that looks nothing like my lattte dock: I get a weird looking grid paper showing above the panel.

Also the mouse wheel doesn't do anything for me.

What is your Latte version?

In the screenshot you are using Justify alignment with 100% maximum length. You can either reduce the maximum length or change alignment in order to get the same result. I am using of course Latte git version.
