System76's COSMIC desktop team recently previewed a new "frosted blur effect" intended for its user interface. This visual enhancement will apply a frosted glass appearance to various applications and desktop elements. The design choice aims to provide a more modern aesthetic to the desktop environment, which is under active development for System76's Pop!_OS distribution. The preview included images demonstrating the integration of the blur effect across different UI components. This development focuses on evolving the desktop's look and feel to enhance the overall user experience.
