Nice.

The code currently checks for null values, but not invalid or blank values. If I get some time I'll see if I can fix it, but my Objective C barely rises to the level of "wannabe hobby."

Thanks, that did the trick. I don’t know, why this setting went missing, as I think I had entered that line when installing the older version of the bundle. Anyway, now it works great.

Looks like there is a null value in your settings for blurminal. Try entering the following at the command prompt and trying again.

defaults write com.apple.Terminal 'Blurminal Radius' -float 1.0

timmfin, yes, I do get something in the logs. It starts with

Unfortunately, I have not the slightest idea what is going on.

Arg. Do you get any info in Console.app when it crashes?

By: Nithilher

Nithilher — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 23:45:14 +0000

Timmfin, I’m sorry to say that Terminal crashes when I try to use your hacked Blurminal bundle. It works fine (‘though with the first window problem) when using your older version from 08 Nov 2009.

Yeah, I had the blurmate issue, too.

I've been trying all sorts of things. My thought was to disable/enable the blur around the expose event. While I can flip the blur switch as needed, I can't seem to ever get notified of the expose event (though my cocoa knowledge is abysmal).

By: timmfin

timmfin — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 18:56:26 +0000

Yup, I also have the expose issue. I bet the the blur filter applied underneath the terminal window is causing it, since it happens with Blurminal and Blurmate.

Maybe I'll get the motivation to play with the code more about this... maybe...
