STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Navigate to System Settings, Workspace Behaviour, Desktop Effects 2. Scroll up and down the list of effects OBSERVED RESULT Some effects have no preview video, for example (these are ones that weren't immediately obvious to me as to what they did): Screen Edge, Sheet, Thumbnail Aside. EXPECTED RESULT Every effect to have a preview video available. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20221209 KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.100.0 Qt Version: 5.15.7 Kernel Version: 6.0.10-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 620 Manufacturer: HP Product Name: HP ProBook 450 G4
These are so helpful for understanding what effects these options control. For new users like myself its essential for effects related to things like modal dialogs. I'm not sure what these are so I wouldn't know how to test it. Sidenote: These effects are awesome and the level of customization is the best out there; keep up the great work! Also I see that this request is over a year old, if I can help with recording videos let me know.
Git commit a6f6aa19cd1c817fe678b84d83a54f78375fb940 by Oliver Beard. Committed on 25/04/2025 at 20:48. Pushed by olib into branch 'master'. src/kcms,plugins: Remove effects videos These generally no longer work, and whilst they could be made to work again, they would still be out of date. If the videos were updated, they would quickly become outdated again as Plasma is updated via wallpaper, theme and other changes. Effects are previewed easily enough anyway by enabling them and using them in practice.
