This is something Ive seen for a longtime (since 2021). Probably longer. The effect may be more difficult to fix than what it looks. Curious to hear what more knowledgeable members have to share about this.
We have a mechanism in place - see changing the colour schemes. The problem with lnf files is they reload all of kwin which breaks the effect. We'll do that in due time. Once we fix kwin's config to be more specific this should "just work" quite smoothly.
