Created attachment 95846 [details] Screenshot When not using compositting, the Plasma stuff blends to windows and stuff because it does not seem to have any edges, making things very hard to recognize. See screenshot.
That's a problem with Breeze in general and affects the window decoration, too. Not sure if we want to put a lot of effort into that in 2015 though :)
For the window decoration, it should not be "too" difficult to add a darker edge surrounding the decoration when compositing is inactive. Similar to what we have for menus. And make the decoration square. There was something like that for oxygen already.
I'll give it a shot and report back.

So ... decoration part should be fixed (though subtle). Can't help on the plasma theme. Leaving the bug open in case someone steps in :)
Thanks Hugo! Great work.

\o/ Team work !
Created attachment 95883 [details] Screenshot after fix Looks much better now, good stuff! However it misses a pixel in every corner, see screenshot.
Looks like this issue could be set as resolved
Yup, fixed now.
