They should be, both for reasons of consistency as well as usability: visually busy wallpapers can cause the content of a translucent-but-not-blurred applet to become more difficult to distinguish, especially with Plasma themes featuring very high levels of transparency. 1991581 1 niccolo.venerandi 2021-01-06 08:53:54 +0000 I talked about this to Marco. I'd also like to blur them, but it's not as easy since they are not considered windows by kwin. 1991700 2 nate 2021-01-06 16:02:34 +0000 Yeah, I had a feeling there was some technical barrier (because otherwise it would have already been done!). 2034392 3 nate 2021-05-20 15:47:57 +0000 Fixed by Marco Martin with https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/plasma-framework/-/commit/532817c00455ef7ddb400529b9c102f142db508b and https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/commit/e1980bc024ab4df234dd5104a9100f7cd95b43bc in Plasma 5.23!
