SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open app launcher 2. look at it 3. no setting to turn off, or adjust transparency OBSERVED RESULT Kickoff is too transparent EXPECTED RESULT having a setting to make it more opaque, or turn off transparency altogether. Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.10.16-arch1-1 OS Type: 64-bit Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: GeForce GTX 1050/PCIe/SSE2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Thanks for all of the great work you do to make Plasma the best desktop of the universe! Sorry, but my eyes are not what they used to be, and having anything in the foreground transparent, rather than things in the background is an odd choice: It should be the opposite way arround. IOW: when opening the application launcher, I don't mind if everything else would become transparent, but the launcher I am tring to use should be opaque, so everything in it is clearly visible.
You can disable transparency in settings > and having anything in the foreground transparent, rather than things in the background is an odd choice not sure what you mean, please attach a screenshot

I looked in the application launcher settings as well as in the system settings, where I already have transparency turned off (effects), I see nowhere else to turn off transparency specifically for the app launcher, and since I have the only transparency option there is turned off already, then it's obviously not doing it either. Foreground vs background is hard to understand? When I use the new application menu it's in the foreground and transparent, making it hard to read, with any window with lots of text showing through it from the background. I am not a newb, and been using KDE for nearly 7 years, there is no setting where I should expect it, and I looked in more unlikely locations too, there is nowhere to turn off transparency for the application launcher, and you don't need a screen shot, just set your desktop to breeze dark load up a bright wallpaper and see for yourself.
oh, I see, sorry for misunderstanding hopefully https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/plasma-framework/-/merge_requests/119 can be modified to allow to always disable opacity (unfortunately would only be fixed in breeze though), alternatively you can find a few opaque themes in the store
