[SOLVED]The blur in my kitty don't work properly

J0nas · 2026-05-15 23:48:13

(sorry for the bad sentences, i don't speak English)

The blur in my kitty don't do anything.
I can change it with sudo nano /home/My-name/.config/kitty/kitty.conf, but it don't do anything.
Weather i put it at -1,0,1,8,32, or 100, it does nothing(i have my background opacity at 0 so that my background can be seen in kitty).
I have put this commande in my terminal(sudo grep -r -l --include="*.conf" -E '^[^#]*blur' /),
and it show that the only .conf with the word blur without a "#" before it is kitty.conf

I use arch on hyprland with danklinux if you want to know.

https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Basi … #effects-1 ?
What if you make it (slightly) bigger than 0 ?

(ignore_alpha will likely have a massive performance cost)

I already tested it, but it didn't work.

Please use [code][/code] tags and edit your post in this regard

In your kitty.conf, you have "enable_background_blur no", and your hyprland.conf is completely missing the blur {} block inside decoration {}.
let Hyprland handle the blur part
