Bug ID: 408790

Konsole-and-latte-full-transparency-problem-5.16
SUMMARY
The new blur isn't neutral anymore and when 100% transparency is added it
produces a STRONGLY DARK effect which is:
- ugly
- undesirable (I don't wish it and I have no way to get rid of it, previously I
had a spectrum of colors that I could use if the app had such option)
- conflicts with app settings, creating different result than expected or
wished, so for example, with added white tone it makes it darker, with dark
color it makes even darker and there is no longer possible to achieve that
nice, neutral "frozen glass" effect which was desirable in some places where
readability was not an issue (like dock background).
Because of that new effect, I thought something was broken in latte, so I
posted a bug report:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408773
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. update Plasma to 5.16
2. set Konsole transparency to 100%
3. set Latte-dock background opacity to 0%
OBSERVED RESULT
Lack of control over the effect that always darkens everything whether I like
it or not.
EXPECTED RESULT
Full control over blur effect.
