How do I get blur effects in Zen Browser? (KDE)

Hi!

I installed Bazzite and I really like it, but I installed Zen Browser and cannot get it to have blur effects.

First when I installed it the theme was just black

Then I tried enabling “zen.widget.linux.transparency" in about:config, but that makes it completely transparent, not blurry:

Does anyone know how to fix this? I am really new to Bazzite :slight_smile: thank you

You could try GitHub - taj-ny/kwin-effects-forceblur: Fork of the Plasma 6 blur effect with additional features (including force blur) and bug fixes.

That blurs any transparent background, but I wouldn’t expect much, it might be buggy, resource-expensive

Is Zen Browser installed as a Flatpak? You might have to enable GPU acceleration. You can do this in Flatseal.

Sadly didn’t work :confused: thank you for replying though :slight_smile:

Cautious about trying this since it says the Fedora one (I assume that’s the correct one for Bazzite) is unofficial… Thanks though :slight_smile: might just keep it without blur but with a gradient instead, even though it doesn’t look as cool lol
