Configuration¶

• Change WezTerm blurred Window Background & Opacity on Focus

  -- Pull in the wezterm API local wezterm = require(“wezterm”)

  local config = wezterm.config_builder() config.initial_cols = 120 config.initial_rows = 28 config.font_size = 11 config.color_scheme = “Tokyo Night”

  local dimmer = { brightness = 0.1 } config.background = { -- This is the deepest/back-most layer. It will be rendered first { source = { --File = “/home/USERNAME/Downloads/wallpaper/outer_space.jpg”, File = “/home/USERNAME/Downloads/wallpaper/robot_castle.jpg”, }, -- The texture tiles vertically but not horizontally. -- When we repeat it, mirror it so that it appears “more seamless”. -- An alternative to this is to set width = "100%" and have -- it stretch across the display repeat_x = “Mirror”, hsb = dimmer, -- When the viewport scrolls, move this layer 10% of the number of -- pixels moved by the main viewport. This makes it appear to be -- further behind the text. attachment = { Parallax = 0.1 }, }, } --config.window_background_opacity = 0.3

  return config
