Is this project abandoned?

[KCGD]

There doesn't seem to have been any activity in months, and the last issue that received a tag was in December of last year.
Is this still being maintained?

I believe they have moved on to a GNOME extension: https://github.com/yilozt/rounded-window-corners

It is not the same thing. With mutter-rounded you could apply Blur to an app, and this extensions doesn't have it.

It's a shame the dev abandoned this project, because the blur on the terminals were a very nice thing to have. But it doesn't work anymore with Gnome 42.2 or Gnome 43.

@hrqmonteiro I've been using it without issue on 42.5, did you try rebuilding/reinstalling it?

[nine7nine]

@hrqmonteiro - mutter-rounded definitely works with gnome-42.x as I was using it on Archlinux with gnome-42... ~ it also can be made to work on Gnome-43 (as I'm using it right now!). However, there are two issues:

1. If blur is enabled Gnome's lockscreen doesn't work properly (some kind of conflict with blur on lockscreen, afaict).
   --> I wrote a patch for Gnome-Shell to disable/remove blur to fix the issue: https://github.com/nine7nine/Gnome_Packages-pkgbuild/blob/master/gnome-shell_n7n/unlockDialog_remove_blur.patch

2. I've only gotten it to work with x11 sessions (i simply removed the wayland code for now, since I don't use Wayland)

Both of the above issues could probably be fixed for proper Gnome-43 support - but I haven't really dug into fixing them properly in mutter... and it does appear that @yilozt may have abandoned this project in favor of his new extension, but idk... It's unfortunate, because the new extension has some issues and doesn't feel like a replacement for mutter-rounded.

That all said: If using Arch, I do have a pkgbuild for mutter-rounded (with some other MRs that are performance related). here:
--> https://github.com/nine7nine/Gnome_Packages-pkgbuild/tree/master/mutter_n7n

note: I provide zero support though. my gnome-related packages are for my own use.

hi @nine7nine, your patches are awesome. But I wonder did you managed to apply the blur to context menu and gnome shell? I also notice that the CPU usage increases after applying this blur effect, wonder if you had something to make it better at performance. Sorry to ask you, since I saw you were digging into this quite deep.

[nine7nine]

@fsevenm - i wouldn't say that i'm digging deep into this, and actually for Gnome-44/mutter - this code needs a rewrite in a few places, due to significant changes in mutter...

I likely won't port the code to gnome-44. Anyway;

• menus, etc are not covered by mutter-rounded. Only application windows

• cpu use with blur is negligible on my machines, not sure what your issue is, or how to improve it. Unfortunately.

[fsevenm]

@nine7nine no problem, I'll try to figure out. Anyway, thanks for the quick response.

can anyone help me ... i wanna customise my gnome DE and it was using mutter rounded but my gnome version is 44.5 ... what should i do please tell

[nine7nine]

This project is dead. If you want rounded windows:

https://github.com/yilozt/rounded-window-corners

and use the blur-my-shell extension for blur.

both extensions should be available @ https://extensions.gnome.org/

I can't really help you beyond that. Myself, I switched away from Gnome (too many issues with 44.0+) and moved to a different DE steup (Hyprland + Aylur's GTK Shell + Wayland).
