rio: Rio failing to draw blur upon launch
Hi reader,
Recently, I have been trying out rio and have been facing this issue where a new instance of rio fails to draw the window opacity and blur due to unknown reasons. I can help dig out more logs if that helps. My system is currently running NixOS 23.11.20231210.781e2a9 (Tapir). My configuration where rio is setup is here
Output of rio -V:
rioterm 0.0.30
Steps to reproduce
- Install rio from nixpkgs (I have tested v0.0.29 and v0.0.30)
- Use wayland compositor (I used Hyprland)
- Launch rio
Logs and Information
Upon launching rio using RIO_LOG_LEVEL=debug rio > debug_log-rio.txt, my output is attached in file debug_log-rio.txt
After a quick inspection, I was able to find a line that could possibly be related to this.
L24 [INFO] init::platform_impl::platform::wayland::window::state Blur manager unavailable, unable to change blur
Temporary Workaround
I am able to draw blur on terminals that are spawned, if I make a change to the rio config and rebuild my system/home-manager or make changes to the rio config.toml which cause the spawned terminals to reload and show blur. I am uncertain if this is a NixOS specific issue or rio. Please note that new terminal instances still would not be able to draw blur. Please see the images attached where I rebuilt my system after changing the value to false for disable-renderer-when-unfocused:
The startup-time and overall smoothness of the terminal is amazing. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you for being awsome.

Hmmm, very interesting will try something to see if corrects the behavior on linux
Yes, that would be perfect. You have a beautiful setup 😄
That’s great! @RaySlash would you mind add that image you posted to the docs? https://raphamorim.io/rio/docs/configuration-file#using-blur-and-background-opacity
Closing this issue for now 😄
Just tried
mainand unfortunately the fix didn’t work for me - still had to save once to get transparency.Yea, windows/macos are the only stable apparently after the release. When I mean stable I talk about that at least you see the opacity off or blur if close and reopen the window
@orhun could you confirm if update the configuration file would fix for you the transparency?
Is this something you would like to use?
Tested quickly in an ubuntu and can’t spawn with transparency neither blur 😢
Yea, I will try to reproduce and spawn a new window on my linux at home to see if I can reproduce it.
