If you want to edit the theme, please see the theme editor in plasmasdk. There's two relevant attributes in the metadata. I don't consider transparency a special case. Created attachment 112912 [details] attachment-25562-0.html I wasn't really asking for transparency in the theme, but rather an option to adjust it per desktop widget. Sort of like how you can edit a Konsole profile without editing the base system theme.

Please can you explain your specific use case. Created attachment 112937 [details] attachment-16061-0.html Alright, so say I wanted a digital clock widget on my desktop. I drag the clock widget and it's got this ugly black square behind it ( https://i.imgur.com/fBY8idx.png). That's what I'm looking to adjust the transparency of and/or blur, not the entire widget. I could see it looking a lot better for people who are into customizing their desktop with widgets, sort've like how this clock sits directly on the wallpaper without a background in this screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/emlcUZb.jpg It also might look really nice with the new blur effect being implemented in Plasma 5.13.

It appears the email client I've been using to reply is adding a lot of unnecessary text to my replies. I'll try to refrain from using it in the future to reply to bugreports. At a plasma API level a widget author can customise if they want any background or not. (for example the notes plasmoid) Created attachment 113000 [details] attachment-31988-0.html So, do you think it'd be possible to add a background toggle for most of the default widgets? Like the digital clock, calendar, network + resource monitor, etc. On Fri, Jun 1, 2018 at 8:15 AM David Edmundson <bugzilla_noreply@kde.org> wrote: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394715 > > --- Comment #6 from David Edmundson <kde@davidedmundson.co.uk> --- > At a plasma API level a widget author can customise if they want any > background > or not.

I've filed a bug report asking for blur specifically: Bug 431205 And we have since added a background toggle to many common widgets. If there are more that you'd like to see implement this feature, please file separate bug reports. thanks! JFYI we also do now have a background toggle control too. So I guess this is mostly fixed now! |
Created attachment 112886 [details] A mock up of the transparency adjustment I'd like to see. Could we have the ability to remove the background on Plasma desktop widgets, and possibly allow for blur just like Konsole in the new Plasma dev builds? I feel like this might make desktop widgets a lot more aesthetically pleasing in certain cases.
