what doesnt, the extensions or the github thing?

The github thing

#

From the omgubuntu link

Ubuntu 21.10 / Ubuntu 22.04

There is a simple script to help you build the packages in ubuntu 21.10. It's neccesary to check the content of script. Before you build the packages, the Source code checkbox in Software & Updates should be enabled:

#

did u have 'git' installed plus the above thing checked?

#

git clone https://github.com/yilozt/mutter-rounded cd ./mutter-rounded/ubuntu ./package.sh

#

git is the program or command needed to clone the source code

#

the second line there changes to the driectory you cloned the code to

sage juniper
#

I am very familiar with git, even after changing the package.sh script it didn't work

vast fulcrum
#

should work cuz even though the github pages references gnome, it still talks about mutter

#

and Cinnamon uses Mutter, as the window handler

sage juniper
#

And then the thing add apt-file which makes doing apt update take forever

#

The script wants to see 21.10 or 22.04 in lsb-release, I fixed that but it still didn't work

vast fulcrum
#

well u on latest mint.. doesnt 22.04 already show that?

#

my only other guess is u have to configure the settings AFTER compiling the git, and running/installing the newly made .debs

#

via dconf-editor, the settings are located in /org/gnome/mutter:

sage juniper
#

It failed before making the debs so I gave up on it, not sure about KingALLO

i saw this warning on the github for it:
Issues:

It can be buggy with blur effect. see https://github.com/aunetx/blur-my-shell. If you are using intel driver in Xorg session, try create .drirc in your home directory to disable Vertical Synchronization:
#

if using Intel graphics ^

#

anyway, it's a shame one would have to go to such lengths for this.

There's no existing compositor or extension to use on Linux Mint Cinnamon to achieve this. on the XFCE and MATE variants you can replace the built-in compositor with another one that supports this effect, but your mileage may vary, and some configuration options may break in the process.

I installed KDE and now im instlling XFCE. Both have a whole lot of blur options although I am a big fan of the overall look of Cinnamon already I just wanted blur haha
