SUMMARY Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20220813 KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0 Qt Version: 5.15.5 Kernel Version: 5.19.0-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz Memory: 15,4 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Xe Graphics Manufacturer: Dell Inc. Product Name: XPS 13 9305 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enable the Desktop Effect called Dim Inactive (Darken inactive windows) 2. Use ALT+TAB to switch tasks OBSERVED RESULT Task switcher is affected by dimming although it's the foreground "window" EXPECTED RESULT Task switcher should NOT be dimmed since it's in the foreground window, and definitely the one the user wants to focus when invoking the task switcher. Having the contents of the tabbox dimmed makes it harder for the brain/eye of the user to detect the window to jump to.
Although this is minor, just chiming in to say it's still reproducible.

I am also annoyed by this, on Fedora 40, Plasma 6.1.3. I like to do significant dimming on the inactive window(s), but that makes the tabbox barely usable. There's no way this effect should be applying itself to the tabbox/task switcher dialog. The fact that this issue has been open since late 2022 is gravely disappointing.
Reproducible in 6.2.2 aswell
