Created attachment 189650 [details] Clear SVGs, smudging around widgets' edges SUMMARY Uniformly designed widget SVGs don't get rendered uniformly on the desktop. There is some smudging around their edges instead. Its seems that the blur effect blurs the region, but the edge regions remain with alpha and then the mask bleeds into them. The issue is most obvious with more transparent themes, but Breeze Dark is also affected. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Get a very transparent theme like Gently from GHNS or test with Breeze Dark 2. Place some widget on the desktop 3. Observe how the edges are smudged compared to the central part of the background OBSERVED RESULT Smudging around edges. EXPECTED RESULT The widget looks uniform in how the blur is implemented.

BasicAppletContainer: fix blur borders The blur behind applets was blurred in the wrong way, as the MultiEffect for the blur had the autoPaddingEnabled, making the blurred area near the borders look darket. Disable the property so only the area we care about is blurred without bleeding of paddng is the applet area M +1 -0 components/containmentlayoutmanager/qml/BasicAppletContainer.qml https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/commit/7b43238d506e5ef14a2fab47691ed3d270dbace6
