Installation

On Ubuntu you can use the official PPA.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apandada1/typhoon
sudo apt update
sudo apt install typhoon

On Debian, you can install the prebuild .deb package on GitHub releases.

For Arch based distros Typhoon is available on the AUR,

yay -S typhoon

On Fedora, you can install the prebuild .rpm package on GitHub releases.

Distro agnostic packages: Typhoon is available on Flathub and the Snap Store (thanks to @soumyaDghosh).

Note that the wallpaper based chameleonic background does not work in the flatpak and snap packages due to confinement. They fall back to the accent color instead. To use wallpaper based chameleonic background feature, use the native packages instead.

On Windows, download the prebuilt installers from GitHub releases.

Linux-specific integrations (dbus-python, python-gobject, libportal) are optional on Windows.

Blur

By default, Typhoon supports transparency in nearly all desktop environments. However, thanks to Qt, you can also make the background blur with the following methods:

• GNOME: Use Blur my Shell extension.
• KDE Plasma: Install KVantum and enable blur option for transparent windows in KVantum settings. Alternatively use kde-blur effect for KWin if you don't want to install KVantum.
• Cinnamon: Install the Blur Cinnamon extension.
