SUMMARY When I take another desktop background the color of the LD-panel changes. E.g. it becomes 100% opaque. I can find no way to disable this functionality STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. change destop background image OBSERVED RESULT With some images the LD-panel becomes darker even 100% opaque. Choosing the "plasma theme" in the Advanced settings - Appearence - color won't prevent LD to act this way. I can find no way to stop this behaviour. EXPECTED RESULT When using the "plasma theme" not adapt to desktop background SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0 Qt Version: 5.11.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For these backgrounds Latte discovers that the left edge is busy, meaning that full transparent panel background won't produce good results. That state is called Busy Opacity state, to set its value just adjust the Busy Opacity in Background section
Created attachment 121898 [details] Desktop image that makes LD panel opaque Thank you for your answer. I think I understand what you mean. But if - if you made the image I attache as your desktop background, - does the LD panel become 100% opaque too? If that is the way LD is supposed to do it's ok. But I don't understand why...
Oh I'm so sorry Michail! I messed up. Plasma was set to "scale" the desktop images (and NOT scale and crop). I wasn't aware of that. And this image leaves black borders on this monitor because it is not 16:9. My mistake!
