A very quick and dirty TextMate 2 plugin that simply blurs the window background. Useful if you have a theme with a transparent background, where otherwise it can make things pretty unreadable sometimes.
Inspired by BlurMate for TM1, for which the source code was never released. I hijacked the name because, well, because.
Simply grab the latest release and drop it in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/PlugIns (create the folder if it doesn't exist already). Double clicking to install doesn't work for some reason. No biggie.
The default blur radius is 20. I think it's pixels, but it could be hamsters for all I know. You can change it to whatever you like using defaults like this:
defaults write com.macromates.TextMate.preview BlurMateRadius <value>
Just remove BlurMate.tmplugin from ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/PlugIns.
Pull requests are welcome. Plagiarism welcome too. It took me literally an hour to throw together, with a little code borrowed from iTerm2. If you can make something better based on this then please feel free to do so and I'll happily use yours.
