Created attachment 186380 [details] Screenshot SUMMARY The overview effect currently shows widgets and icons. This can make the overview confusing, as you see widgets which appear to be on the same level as the windows. Also, if a user has a lot of icons on the desktop, this can interfere with legibility of the window titles. This means this becomes an accessibility issue as well. The background should only show the wallpaper, without any widgets or icons, as this would put all the focus on what is really important - the window previews, not what's on the desktop. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open the overview effect OBSERVED RESULT The icons and widgets on the desktop are shown together with the windows previews, which is confusing. EXPECTED RESULT Only the window previews are shown. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
