    Hey all,

    I'm trying to find the file/files responsible for the blurred background effect used on the Settings menu.

    I'd like to use that effect on the app drawer/launcher. My attempts to create the same blurred background have not worked.

    Having searched high and low in '/usr/share/jolla-settings/' and then in '/usr/lib/qt5/qml/com/jolla/settings', I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

    I also did a search for the texture file, but none of the files I found were related to the Settings menu.

    Any clues/hints appreciated,

    I don't think it is "a file", it's rather lipstick rendering the background with a blur filter.

    I think you're right......which is why I cannot find what I'm looking for, as I've not solely looked at the 'background'. I'm now thinking one of the files (only 6 of) that contain the texture (graphic-shader-texture) that is also present on the Settings menu 'background' is where I may find what I need.....thanks for the hint!

    Regards,

    Some years back someone built a Sailfish theme for Nokia N9 and he had documented how to create that blur effect. IIRC, it was a mask that had to be applied over the image (in some image editor? or was it dynamic? do not remember that!) to create the effect. And that was brilliant. I don't remember who, how, when, or where, but just that I have used that theme.

    Thanks lal. doesn't really help though. There is no image for the background of Launcher, only a black rectangle.

    I've also just tried applying a mask (blur) to the Launcher using QtGraphicalEffects 1.0 but it causes a little bit of lag when flicking the launcher into view, it's a bit 'expensive' to run and says as much in the documentation. I acheived this by placing a random image in place of the black rectangle used on the app drawer/launcher - but I am trying to avoid adding an image, rather, I want do it with the same tools that created the blurry effect on the Settings menu.

    I didn't realise it would be this difficult to reproduce the effect......oh well, back to the drawing board!

    Hey, Ancelad

    The effect is the obscured background of the Settings menu....
