One more observation which I want to share is that : this thick bar only appears on panel height below 30. Above 30, it vanishes. And 30 is the last value for panel height where the bar appears. That's because the size of the border in WhiteSur's SVGs is 15, so if your panel is <30px the two borders will be drawn on top of each other. Honestly, I'm not sure if we can do anything meaningful here... (In reply to veggero from comment #2) Oh. If this is the reason, then it might be applicable to other Plasma themes. Thanks for pointing out this to me. Also, can I link this with the stuttering which I get in translucent light themes ? I am not able to record it or capture it, as changing the task removes the flashes. (In reply to Phoenix Awakened from comment #3) > (In reply to veggero from comment #2) > > > Oh.

That doesn't sound directly related, but I'd have to see it to give you a more solid opinion there A few questions for you: 1. Does it happen if you make the panel non-floating? 2. Does it happen with the Breeze Plasma theme? 3. Was the a previous Plasma version (e.g. 5.25) where this worked properly with WhiteSur? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #5) > A few questions for you: > 1. Does it happen if you make the panel non-floating? Well, no, because the non-floating panel does not have rounded corners on both sides. > 2. Does it happen with the Breeze Plasma theme? No, because we use a small corner radius, and thus the panel can't really be smaller than two times that; BigSur has a much bigger one. > 3. Was the a previous Plasma version (e.g. 5.25) where this worked properly > with WhiteSur? I doubt 5.25, maybe in older version there was some different logic that better supported themes like the fluffy one, but that's probably from before the floating panel, which is really where you notice this. The correct approach would be change the minimum size of the panel depending on the margin defined in the plasma theme.

I usually see panels begin to flicker if I open multiple windows each over other in smaller size, in maximized mode it appears infrequently as flickers when scrolling. To check it even more, I also changed the window decorations to translucent one and even they were showing the flickering. Also, sometimes I had seen that, those Plasma themes which light and translucent/transparent catches the impression of cursor, but it disappears if I open another window/task.

Make sure Panel cannot be smaller than the margins of the panel SVG Depends on: - https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2329 - https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/plasma-framework/-/merge_requests/647 This commit reads the minimum size the panel can be drawn at in the Panel view (so that it can be read by the panel cpp code) and makes sure that the thickness box cannot set a value that's lower than that. Even if you change to a theme that has min size bigger than current panel thickness, the value will update so that it's never lower than it (since we re-check the thickness every time the min size changes; see https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2329/diffs#a59fc6b4fc8c9491e223a39a5c49d288286e16f0_1535_1555).

Created attachment 153525 [details] Image of the issue. Hello. I usually use dark themes, but recently I am using light themes which are translucent and I am getting white line in middle of the panel, when it is set to floating. In non-floating mode, it is normal. The attached image is of plasma theme named, " WhiteSur ", though any of other translucent theme result in same output.
