SUMMARY
Every part of Plasma that supports the new "Adaptive Translucency" thing like the big tooltips, panels, and widgets in panels, has a weird space where translucency is disabled, and it looks really weird.

In the attachments, if you look close enough, you can see a subtle area where it's not translucent.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to your panel settings and turn on Adaptive Translucency
2. Get a notification, hover over something in the panel, open a widget in the panel, edit the panel, or open the "Add Widget" or "Activities" thing at the left. There might be more things that have this issue, but these are the things I've noticed.

OBSERVED RESULT
There's a weird area (is there a better way to say this?) where it's not translucent.

EXPECTED RESULT
The whole thing should be translucent, excluding the title bars, etc.

You can see that the main part of this widget is brighter than it was before, and it looks weird to me. It does this even when you have a window focused.

It also happens to KRunner.
