I'm working very hard to get it working on plasma 6, especially with the switch from x11 to wayland - thanks for your patience.

Active Blur - a plasma wallpaper plugin

main-vid.mp4

Description

Blur the wallpaper if a windows is active.

main feature

• live thumbnail preview
• keep all the behavior of the default image plugin made by kde like :
  • auto apply the wallpaper on click
  • add color and blur option in function of the positioning
• give you the ability to deactivate the effect
• give you the ability to change the blur radius and the animation delay
• new the slideshow wallpaper type is available too

history

My own code for replacing inactiveblur that it seems to be abandoned.

I have duplicated the default KDE image plugin so all the default effect and behavior is still present.
