SUMMARY The CMakeLists file adds a dependency on QtGraphicalEffects 1.0, but two of the qml files use QtGraphicalEffects 1.2, which causes the shell plasmoid to fail to load on systems that only have 1.0 installed. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Compile git master on a system that only has QtGraphicalEffects 1.0 2. Run it OBSERVED RESULT The shell plasmoid fails to load, which causes problems with the task manager and probably other things. EXPECTED RESULT The shell plasmoid should load properly. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: - (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: - KDE Frameworks Version: - Qt Version: 5.12.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Seems to me like either the CMakeLists.txt file should update the dependency on 1.2, or downgrade the two qml files that depend on 1.2. I manually changed them to import 1.0 instead of 1.2, and it seems to work fine now.

Which solution do you think is best? I've been trying to find QtGraphicalEffects 1.2, but the latest I can find seems to be 1.12 - is 1.2 a part of some unreleased Qt version? I can definitely do a PR, just need to know what solution you want.
(In reply to Mathias Tillman from comment #2) > I can definitely do a PR, just need to know what solution you want. let's set "import QtGraphicalEffects 1.0" and in the PR I will be able to tell you what to check if break... but I dont think there will be any problem
Git commit 99454c0b15ba7afbeedea69b0ceb0a7a1f44783a by Mathias Tillman. Committed on 23/04/2019 at 20:32. Pushed by mathiastillman into branch 'master'. Import QtGraphicalEffects 1.0 instead of 1.2 to fix dependency issue. Summary: Fixes an issue where the shell plasmoid fails to load when QtGraphicalEffects 1.2 is missing from the system. This causes various issues like the task manager applet failing to load.
