Description beojan 2014-02-25 15:23:36 UTC
When color correction is enabled, the images in conky are also made transparent, while with color correction disabled, only the background is transparent.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use conky with images and
own_window_argb_visuals yes
own_window_transparency yes


Actual Results:  
Images are transparent

Expected Results:  
Images are opaque (or semi transparent if rgba)

Does conky yell (X11) errors?
Compositing operates on the final window, not on parts of it - so we cannot possibly blend out images (unless they're individual windows? your conky setup?)

The more likely answer is then that the window becomes "incompatible" with the format used for the pictures (for what reason ever)

Also please attach the output of "qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformation"

Oh, and xprop and xwininfo on proper and broken conky windows (sorry)
Comment 5 beojan 2014-02-25 15:43:55 UTC
conky produces no X11 errors, and the images aren't individual windows.

qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformation : http://paste.kde.org/pxurfkl3i

Broken window: http://paste.kde.org/pre1lpisu
Non-broken window: http://paste.kde.org/puwu7x9mp
(Should be identical, toggling color correction makes images appear and disappear)

tbh: i doubt this is a bug in kwin and i've no idea why conky could omit images on color correction.
notice that there's no visual corruption - the images are simply not here. And the window content is completely provided by conky.
The only thing i could think of is that color correction implicitly activates/exprts some system wide color correction and that conky fails to load images because of a different color profile.
*shrug*
Comment 9 Martin Flöser 2017-07-02 16:09:18 UTC
Color correction got dropped from KWin. Thus the bug cannot be fixed any more.
