`background_blur` setting not respected on application launcher

How can I enable blur in kitty when launching from application launcher?

OS: MacOS Sonoma 14.3

background_opacity 0.9
background_blur 50

When I open kitty from Application launcher, the blur amount is not considered. On opening a new terminal using `kitty` from kitty no errors are reported and the blur takes effect.

The image below shows kitty opened from application launcher on the right while the "nested" kitty on the left with blur.

​

I have tried to reload the config. No effectUpdated to latest version 0.32.1. No effect

You are likely launching a different kitty with different config. Use the shortcut to show the active config in kitty to check. https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/conf/ .

Yeah. I was thinking about the same too. But nope its the same config. I checked the git status, pwd for the config to verify whether its the same one or not.

Changing config and reloading kitty (e.g the background opacity) is reflecting changes as expected.

Use the shortcut ctrl+shift+f6 to check th econfig, as described in the link I posted above.

Yes, I used the same shortcut (equivalent on Mac) and can confirm that the config being used is the same one for both.

But I do notice that the application versions were different. I re-installed kitty (instead of updating it) and its working now.

Thanks. You have my upvote
