Can we be able to switch off background blurring?

[Mark Magennis]

In the new Trello, opening  card blurs the background. Not only does this reduce functionality because I often want to see other cards while focussing on one, but it's making me feel sick.

It would be great to have a "background blurring" checkbox in the Change Background settings popup.

Hello @Mark Magennis 

Thank you for your feedback. As always UI experience and changes to it is generating a lot opinions. Many users get use to current views and every difference is quickly noticeable.

As for background blur... I am personally neutral to this change, however I understand that you might get used to old view and would like to get it back. 

So far I am not aware of any native option to turn this blur off but as always if you are using a web version everything is changeable - it is only a combination of JS and CSS.. 

So in order to "disable" this blur I suggest to add / inject this simple CSS code "somewhere" without modifying the source code  

.ehqozeZjYqrYu1 {
  backdrop-filter: blur(0px);
}

In the past I heavily used Stylus web extension which help define own styles to a specific URL this change (I guess here you can define it to whole trello.com or specific board even.. )  

I did a quick test and this is the result.. 

So I guess it is working :)

Thank you @Mirek for that solution. I do use Stylus so it was simple to add.

Perfect! Glad that it was helpful.

Is there another option for those of us that don't code?  I also find the blurred background to be difficult on my eyes and somewhat nauseating - obviously I can't look at the blurred screen for a significant period of time.   Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Actually this solution does not require "coding". Working code is available.. so only installing an app and putting the code there is required and then you are good to go :) 

But I understand and agree that there should be an option somewhere in UI to decide and tun this on/off. Hopefully Atlassian would implement this as a build in feature. Until that time I suggest above solution. Maybe there is a different one.. but I think it would still require an app or something..
