background effect factory
Interface
Version 1
This protocol provides a way to improve visuals of translucent surfaces
by applying effects like blur to the background behind them.
The capabilities are send when the global is bound, and every time they
change. Note that when the capability goes away, the corresponding effect
is no longer applied by the compositor, even if it was set before.
Warning! The protocol described in this file is currently in the testing
phase. Backward compatible changes may be added together with the
corresponding interface version bump. Backward incompatible changes can
only be done by creating a new major version of the extension.
destroy the background effect manager
Destructor
Request
Since Version 1
Informs the server that the client will no longer be using this
protocol object. Existing objects created by this object are not
affected.
get a background effects object
Request
Since Version 1
Instantiate an interface extension for the given wl_surface to add
effects like blur for the background behind it.
If the given wl_surface already has a ext_background_effect_surface_v1
object associated, the background_effect_exists protocol error will be
raised.

background effects for a surface
Interface
Version 1
The background effect object provides a way to specify a region behind
a surface that should have background effects like blur applied.
If the wl_surface associated with the ext_background_effect_surface_v1
object has been destroyed, this object becomes inert.
Destructor
Request
Since Version 1
Informs the server that the client will no longer be using this protocol
object. The effect regions will be removed on the next commit.
This request sets the region of the surface that will have its
background blurred.
The blur region is specified in the surface-local coordinates, and
clipped by the compositor to the surface size.
The initial value for the blur region is empty. Setting the pending
blur region has copy semantics, and the wl_region object can be
destroyed immediately. A NULL wl_region removes the effect.
The blur region is double-buffered state, and will be applied on
the next wl_surface.commit.
The blur algorithm is subject to compositor policies.
If the associated surface has been destroyed, the surface_destroyed
error will be raised.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|
| region | nullable
object<wl_region> | blur region of the surface |
| Entry | Value | Since | Description |
|---|
| surface_destroyed | 0 | 1 | the associated surface has been destroyed |
