Demonstrating my panel settings, which I cannot change.

SUMMARY
***
After updating to the latest release of kwin, latte does not respect major visual settings. Opacity and shadows settings are being ignored completely. Additionally, effects such as a smooth transition on show, for autohidden dock, isn't functioning; the dock simply flashes into existence.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set a panel to 25 % opacity
2. Observe its total opacity
