Not sure if this is intended behavior, but when you switch the background of Konsole to use a transparent background (with blur looks nice!), the font rendering setting appears to change.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set your font rendering to RGB subpixel
2. Open Konsole (restarting it if already opened)
3. Change background to include transparency

OBSERVED RESULT
Konsole renders fonts with grayscale font smoothing when the background is transparent, even if the setting is for RGB. The titlebar is rendered with rgb but not the semitransparent window content. This may be a limitation with transparency but I'm not sure just a layman.



EXPECTED RESULT
