Incompatibility with Blur My Shell extension

[ZikoGotGame]

I am using gnome on fedora linux. I am using blur my shell on my applications which applies a blurred transparent effect to their backgrounds. Whenever I enable Rounded Window Corners Reborn, the window backgrounds are no longer blurred. They are still transparent, just not blurred. It doesn't seem to matter what extension is enabled first. Whenever both are enabled, the gaussian blur effect goes away from the backgrounds of applications.

Hey @ZikoGotGame! I'm here to assist you with any bugs, questions, or contributions. Let's get to the bottom of this together!

The issue you're experiencing with the Rounded Window Corners extension and the Blur My Shell extension is likely due to a conflict in how both extensions handle visual effects. The Rounded Window Corners extension includes settings that might affect other visual effects like blurring, such as customizing shadow preferences and corner smoothing, which could interfere with the blur effect applied by Blur My Shell ^[1].

Additionally, the Rounded Window Corners extension has a "Blacklist" feature that allows you to disable effects for specific applications that may not work well with rounded corners. This might help manage interactions with other visual effects ^[2].

To address this issue, you might want to experiment with the settings in the Rounded Window Corners extension to see if adjusting shadow or corner smoothing settings helps restore the blur effect. Alternatively, you could try adding the affected applications to the blacklist to see if that resolves the conflict.
