--- Comment #2 from Gary <[email protected]> --- Yes. Concretely: grouped launcher panels on the desktop. I build titled boxes of launchers directly on the desktop -- a Quicklaunch widget per group, positioned and sized like a small panel. Six cover a good fraction of a 3440x1440 screen. At the standard applet background opacity, the desktop stops being a desktop and becomes a slab of frames. The wallpaper is the only reason those widgets are on the desktop rather than in a panel. The frames are what hide it. What I want is one number per widget -- the opacity of its background frame -- so a group can sit over the wallpaper the way a panel sits over a window. Since filing this, I found the mechanism was wrong and the request is narrower than I wrote it. Plasma already varies the applet background by blur availability: updateKSvgSelectors() sets the "translucent" KSvg selector when blur is active, and Breeze's translucent/widgets/background.svgz is a genuinely different asset -- lower opacities, plus nine blurred-mask-* elements. So the rendering path exists and is live. What is missing is anything that exposes it and any way to land between or beyond the two variants a theme happens to ship. So the ask is: a per-widget background opacity setting in the widget's own settings dialog, defaulting to whatever the theme currently gives. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
