that's not a blur, it's a drop shadow of the panel "Drop shadow" is the perfect keyword to dig the web and to find this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/2nshc1/panel_shadow_in_plasma_5/ with the solution: |For anyone coming across this thread, this is what worked for me: |(1) xprop -remove _KDE_NET_WM_SHADOW |(2) click the panel from which you want to remove the shadow I'm too lazy to read all the posts about drop shadows but obviously I'm not the only one who dislike this "feature". No idea for what it is good for. So I vote for removing it. This is not a kwin issue. KWin is doing exactly what it advertises to do if a window decided that it wants a shadow. |
The edge of windows get a blur when docked to a panel. This blur looks unprecise, I always catch myself checking if the form isn't placed underneath the panel. The issue is illustrated in the screen shot.
