SUMMARY
The task switcher in Plasma Wayland session appears dim and dull as compared to Plasma X11 session.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log-in to Plasma Wayland session
2. Press and hold Alt+tab.
3. The task switcher appears dim and dull as compared to X11 session.

OBSERVED RESULT
In Plasma Wayland session, the task switcher window that shows up when you alt+tab to switch windows appear very dull and appears to be "unfocused".

Plasma 5 is no longer supported for bugfixes. Please confirm if this is still an issue on Wayland. I cannot reproduce
