blurme v1.0 Codename MEH (My Eyes Hurt) is a small script which will blur your feh set background if any window, or rofi is open. Furthermore there are some options, which allow you to change the default behaviour a bit. Read more about the options down below.
Please feel free to fork it, make pull requests and use it in your own projects.
This is my first project i publish. Please be gentle on me :)
- wmctrl: This script makes use of wmctrl to get the current workspace number and to clarify, whether any window is open. It's essential!
