Please go to System Settings > Display and Monitor > Compositor and check whether it says that compositing was disabled because of errors

Comment 2 V 2022-10-17 18:30:50 UTC

Compositing is enabled and working

Comment 3 V 2022-10-20 02:32:11 UTC

Fixed transparency via user profile, however the option is not in main menu settings. I feel this is....confusing at best. Was only able to activate it via profile.

i reponded to this weeks ago. The transparency in the main menu doesn't work...the one i had to use was buried in personal settings (this was disabled after the update.

as an aside...plasma changes the menu panel icons for activities/desktops when you place the monitor above the laptop screen in display settings. my tv sits above my laptop, so this would be ideal, but i can't because of this issue. 

Is there a place to post plasma issues?...the irc channel is unresponsive and downright hostile sometimes.
