[Feature Request] Scene V2: Add MatchParentSize modifier to enable adaptive local background blur

[Cheuksing Lam (lzc)]

Hi João,

The Pain Point: Currently in Scene V2, it is impossible to create a self-adaptive "glassmorphism" (local background blur) effect that perfectly wraps behind dynamic foreground content. If we apply the Fill Size modifier to a background layer inside a Box (Z-Stack), it breaks the layout by forcing the entire Box to expand to full screen.

The Solution: Could you expose the Match Parent Size modifier (Modifier.matchParentSize()) from the native Jetpack Compose?

This specific scoped modifier is essential for a Box container. It allows the background layer to passively wrap the exact boundaries of the dynamic foreground elements, without measuring or expanding the parent layout.

Thanks for your amazing work on Scene V2.

Hi there, thanks for the report! Can you please try this version? https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/gyxfw8kimxyb0b1d1yaqu/Tasker.35.apk?rlkey=yacgs4ykb5c3rxb1wgn46a6oa&dl=0

In box elements, you can now add that modifier. 

Let me know if it works!

Thank you for your reply! I’ve tested the new version you provided, and setting the element size to "Match Parent Size" works as expected.

However, I still haven’t been able to achieve the desired effect. Currently, applying a blur to an element set to "Match Parent Size" only blurs other Scene V2 components underneath it. It does not blur the background it covers (such as the home screen or another app's interface).

How can I achieve this effect?

Unfortunately this effect would only be possible in Dialog mode. Would that be ok for you?

Thank you for your contact.
