Steps to reproduce: 1. Enable Dim Inactive effect with e.g. option to also dim panels 2. Observe that panel is dimmed 3. Change configuration to not dim panel Expected result: Panel is no longer dimmed Actual result: Panel is still dimmed, when moving mouse over panel (e.g. tasks) the areas repaint undimmed, that is option has been applied. How to solve the issue: effects->addRepaintFull() needs to be added in the reconfigure() method
I managed to do that and published it to the review board: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/106814/ I hope I've done everything the right way. Somehow I coulnd't assign the bug to myself. So sorry if somebody did the same. I'm looking forward to dig deeper into kwin and perhaps do some real work :)
