--- Comment #5 from Niklas Stephanblome <niklas.stephanbl...@outlook.de> ---
Closing this as the KWin devs agreed that this should not be an option. From
the merge request:
Vlad Zahorodnii
-----------------------
I thought that we agreed no blur option is intentional. It's expected that some
people may not like certain aspects of the window view, the question is how
many, ie let's view it from 80-20 rule perspective. Adding options can be an
"easy" way to satisfy all parties, but options make software buggy and harder
to change in general.
Guilherme Marçal Silva
-----------------------------------
Would the user be able to disable blur in the windowview effect by disabling
the blur effect globally? I couldn't test windowview so I'm not sure, however,
at least with Overview and Present Windows, disabling the Blur effect globally
doesn't disable the blur at all. If the same problem is present on windowview,
then that's the problem that should be fixed instead.
I also noticed the Overview effect does have a toggle for blur. If the blur is
desirable for windowview, it should also be desirable for Overview, so it makes
no sense to have a toggle for that in one effect and not the other. I don't
think both effects should have a setting for blur though, actually, I think
overview should drop that setting altogether and instead all blur should be
controlled by enabling/disabling the blur effect globally.
It really makes no sense UX-wise to control blur settings from all those
different places. A user that disables blur would expect it to be gone
everywhere. Making the use of blur consistent would solve the original bug
report, clear the confusion, and be more logical and consistent from the user's
perspective.

The global blur option is described as: "Blurs the background behind
semi transparent windows". But this is about bluring the
background in plain sight.
