Quick newbie question about static blur

[notmde]

I always wondered, where does blur my shell extension keeps the static blur? Like the blurred image it renders on top bar, overview and stuff, where does it store it?

Hello, sorry for the very big delay, the extension actually does not store it: it creates a copy of the Meta.BackgroundActor (the actor which is used in gnome-shell's code to display the background image), apply a blur effect on it and put it where needed! It is effectively only a variable stored in memory
