Notes widget only shows transparent style even if other style was selected prior to the upgrade from 5.4. Settings dialogue looks strange too. All sticky note styles are transparent. Reproducible: Always using plasma 5.5.0, Frameworks 5.16 and Qt 5.5.1
screenshot? does wiping ~/.cache/plasma* fix it?
Created attachment 95948 [details] Notes Setting windows and lower right the transparent notes widget that should not be transparent
wiping .cache completely and creating a new user does not solve the issue
thanks
it's working here, so I'm afraid I need to barrage you with questions Can I see your: ~/.config/plasmarc Do you have a file /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/default/notes.svgz

I could not see a notes.svgz
OK, well there's our problem :) It should be in plasma-framework. can you try reinstalling it? Also I'll poke some openSuSE people.
Update. We fucked up. [13:20] <bshah> d_ed: well it is problem on our (plasma) end, file from kdeplasma-addons was moved to plasma-framework [13:20] <bshah> and plasma-framework didn't get relase [13:20] <bshah> d_ed: frameworks 5.17 will fix it™
thanks, actually was my first thought :-). Thanks for finding out. I filed two other bugs against plasma today, perhaps they may also be resolved after 5.17 release. I often have to click multiple times in order to get panel items activated and the custom notification location is not remembered after reboot. hmmm. I will see when somebody will have a look into these bugs...

Was this bug ever fixed? I have plasma-framework 5.18 on Kubuntu 16.04, and I still have this bug, i.e., the notes widget background is always transparent no matter which color I select in the settings.
Yes, it was, but Kubuntu probably doesn't ship the update. Ping your distribution about this.
