Summary

Blur background becomes a 0–100 % slider instead of an on/off switch.

  • 0 % sharp, 50 % exactly the old switch (3-level dual-Kawase, spread 2.2), 100 % twice as strong.
  • One shared helper, background_blur_steps (frame_geometry.rs), maps the amount to pyramid depth and tap spread. D3D11, Metal and wgpu all read it, so the three backends blur alike.
  • Settings: showBlur: boolean → backgroundBlur: number (0..1, in SETTING_BOUNDS).
  • Backward compatible: projects, style presets and scene JSON that stored the switch read true as 50 % and false as 0.
  • Live param backgroundBlur is now numeric.

Tests

  • tsc (app + tests), Biome on changed files.
  • Vitest on touched areas: 1386 passed, including new legacy-switch tests.
  • cargo test -p openscreen-compositor --lib: 374 passed (Windows), new background_blur_steps test checks off at 0, old look at 0.5 and a monotonic radius.
  • Linux and macOS backends not compiled locally: CI.
  • Not checked visually in the running app.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Adjust background blur strength with a 0–100% slider in the AI editor; changes are applied to the background.
    • Scene and preset settings support blur intensity from 0 to 100%, with stronger settings producing more blur.
  • Compatibility

    • Existing projects and presets using the on/off blur setting remain supported. Enabled blur maps to 50% intensity, and disabled blur maps to 0%.

The Blur background toggle becomes a 0-100% slider. The amount picks the
dual-Kawase pyramid depth and tap spread in one shared helper
(background_blur_steps), read by the D3D11, Metal and wgpu backends. 50% is
exactly the old switch; projects, presets and scenes that stored the switch
read true as 50% and false as 0.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Background blur changes from a boolean setting to a numeric strength from 0 to 1. The editor, project and preset settings, scene inputs, native parameters, and Linux, macOS, and Windows compositors now use the numeric value. Legacy boolean inputs remain supported.

Changes

Background Blur

Layer / File(s) Summary
Numeric setting and compatibility
src/lib/projectDefaults.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/store/*, src/lib/ai-edition/stylePresets*, src/components/video-editor/projectPersistence.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/document/migrate.ts, crates/compositor/src/scene.rs
Project defaults, editor settings, persistence, migration, and presets use numeric blur strength. Readers map legacy showBlur: true to 0.5 and false to 0; scene parsing accepts legacy booleans and numeric values.
Editor controls and native parameter wiring
src/components/ai-edition/RightPanes.tsx, src/hooks/useEditorHistory.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/stylePresetsEditor.ts, src/native/*, crates/compositor/src/live.rs, crates/compositor-view-napi/src/lib.rs, related tests and fixtures
The editor replaces the blur toggle with a percentage slider. Editor state, preset mappings, and native scene parameters carry numeric blur values; live numeric input is clamped to 0..=1.
Blur step selection and platform rendering
crates/compositor/src/frame_geometry.rs, crates/compositor/src/config.rs, crates/compositor/src/compositor_{linux,macos,windows}.rs
A shared helper selects blur pyramid depth and sampling offset from the amount. Each platform compositor uses the selected passes, and configuration and test values use numeric strengths.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to bb568

Legacy blur settings remain readable, and the 50% Windows blur matches the prior rendering. No actionable user-facing regression is established, so the change appears mergeable.

Architecture Summary

Architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to bb568

The change affects 3 systems.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — src (service) was modified; 18 changed files map to changed impact.
  • observed — crates (service) was modified; 8 changed files map to changed impact.
  • observed — electron (service) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in crates/compositor-view-napi/src/lib.rs: The set_param comment replaces backgroundBlur with webcamMirror as an example boolean switch key.
  • observed — Modified behavior in crates/compositor/src/compositor_linux.rs: blur_pass now accepts an offset and writes it into the blur uniform instead of always using 2.2.
  • observed — Modified behavior in crates/compositor/src/compositor_linux.rs: blur_bg now takes a blur amount, returns when background_blur_steps yields no passes, and runs the selected number of down/up passes with the returned offset. This replaces the fixed three-level chain.
  • observed — Modified behavior in crates/compositor/src/compositor_linux.rs: compose_frame now passes cfg.bg_blur to blur_bg instead of calling it only when the boolean setting is enabled.

In @src/lib/ai-edition/document/migrate.ts:
- Line 321: In the reverse-migration flow, update the `backgroundBlur`
assignment so `Object.assign` copies the legacy fields before
`editor.backgroundBlur` is set from `readBackgroundBlur(legacy, 0)`. This
preserves blur enabled by `legacyEditor.showBlur` when `backgroundBlur` is
absent, including in the returned project and subsequent export.

In @src/lib/ai-edition/stylePresets.ts:
- Line 416: Update lookFromLegacyEditor to convert a boolean legacy showBlur
value into backgroundBlur before filtering through LOOK_LEGACY_EDITOR_KEYS; only
derive it when backgroundBlur is undefined so an existing backgroundBlur value
is preserved.
