Description mug896 2019-06-29 03:10:09 UTC

I'm currently using KDE Plasma's desktop grid effect.
It works well when I move the mouse pointer to a corner of the screen.
But the problem is that all items become darker by default making it hard to distinguish one from another.


Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 19.04 x86_64

KDE Frameworks Version: 5.59.0

This bug is _not_ about the Present Windows but about the Desktop Grid, where the whole desktop is dimmed.

QML version of the Desktop Grid effect

Replace completely the old desktop grid effect with a QML version.
