Created attachment 103902 [details] Desktop screenshot showing the reported issue On yesterday's Arch update to Plasma 5.9.1, my conky desktop setup lost transparency. I am not sure if I am filing this against the correct plasma component -- apologies if not. Image attached. Kindly let me know if I may provide any additional information or testing info. Thanks! -- Barry
You don't seem to have compositing enabled. Can you press Alt+Shift+F12 and see if it works then. Also check System Settings -> Display -> Compositor whether there's a warning and whether the "Enable compositing on startup" is checked.

Alt+Shift+F12 did not work; however, as you thought, when I checked System Settings -> Display -> Compositor, there was a warning ("OpenGL compositing (the default) has crashed KWin in the past. This was most likely due to a driver bug...."). I re-enabled OpenGL and rebooted, which did remedy the issue. It seems stable for now. I'm not sure why compositing crashed after the plasma update, but perhaps it was localized to my machine and no-one else will have the issue. In any event, thanks very much for your assistance and I'm sorry to have troubled you with this. Barry
Thanks for reporting back! Closing this bug report then.
