Is there any hope for being able to disable the background blur and tint during “Present Windows”?
Perhaps it might be just me, but during the present windows screen is the only time for me where I would regularly see my wallpaper mostly unobstructed from all the windows. Except it’s made mostly unrecognizable by the intense effects:
While I can see somebody argue the effects help seeing the windows, that argument seems to fall a little flat if you consider that the “Overview” doesn’t blur the wallpaper behind the windows at all. However, because that one is more cramped, I tend to use “Present Windows” instead, sadly to the detriment of my wallpaper.
Grid seems to have the same problem as Overview but even worse. If you’re not using virtual desktops (which I’m not) it makes no sense to waste that much space on them. Present seems to be the only one that works well in that case.
I wonder why none of these others blur and tint behind the windows, and only Present does? Makes me wonder why that effect even exists.
Overview and Grid don’t blur the background because they are designed as workspace navigation tools, not Window Selection tools… though they also can be used that way.
Present Windows uses blur to visually separate active windows from the background, making it easier to focus, to improve readability, reduce visual clutter and guide attention.
The fact that you want to focus on your desktop calls to mind that CtrlD is probably your best bet.
Blur exists not only for aesthetics, it exists for practical purposes.
