Description Gianluca Pettinello 2019-06-14 21:30:17 UTC

SUMMARY
New notifications are completely opaque and there is a thin vertical bar showing when the notification is going to disappear.
Looks very Spartan.
Is it possible to set transparency and remove the vertical line?
Thanks

Gianluca

The old ones were opaque too. As for the timeout indicator, that's actually the opposite of SPartan since now there's more there. I don't think there's a reason to remove it.

Ok, and sorry if my tone was harsh, since you work hard every day to make kde better. If ever you consider one day to add transparency and blur to the notification and to increase the border padding that would be perfect.
Thanks again.

Thanks!

Increased border padding is currently being discussed and in progress, with two options/open patches for how we could do it:
