If i read this correctly: - Blurred version for login - Non blurred version when logged in That makes me think.. Would it be technically possible to just use a blur filter for the login part (it's in QML right? then you can use the QtGraphicalEffects to blur) and then decrease the blur to 0 when logging in? That would look really sweet i think :) On the other hand, this probably only works neatly when the background of the user is also used as login background... _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
