Could you please try lowering the noise strength all the way down?
Noise caused some problems very similar to this a few months ago but I """fixed it"""

I just downloaded the KDE Neon 5.16 iso from the website, installed it and updated it
I can't reproduce the issue

Also, please do not resort to psychological tricks like "torture our users", as if this is any worse than any behaviour issues there.

There is no psychological trick. This is simply how I see things: we are doing this for the users. Users are experiencing this bug. We have a known, working, low-risk (or even risk-free) patch that fixes the issue. The patch is a workaround rather than a true fix, but this is because nobody has so far figured out how to fix the issue itself without introducing substantially more risk. Given these conditions, I don't see the harm in landing the patch. Everything in life involves trade-offs, and to me, this patch falls into the category of "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good."

I heartily agree with you on the general principle of avoiding workarounds and fixing issues at their root causes. However so far nobody has been able to do so for this issue. On the other hand, we have a workaround that we already know works and does not cause regressions because we already uses it with success in other places. In this messy world we live in, sometimes workarounds are the lesser evil. The alternative is that this remains broken for users and we continue to get bug reports about it.

If you don't have time to dig into this, do you by any chance know anyone who does?

In your mockup, do you want to make the power buttons always visible?

When we moved from windows 7 to windows 10 the #1 user ticket was "how do I shut down the computer?" and "how do I log off?" because these actions are on a button with no label.
In my opinion shutdown, restart and logoff should be visible on the main page, opposed to the current Leave page, but suspend and hibernate could be tucked away for example in a little arrow next to Shut down.

I'd like to add my humble thoughts to this if you don't mind.
I personally really love this proposed start menu, especially the list of newly installed apps.

Wait, do we need to add this workaround to every popup menu around? What about 3d-party apps?

Can't we fix the actual bug in Qt/breeze/whatever instead?

I will wait for someone from the frameworks team to review this before landing it.

Please re-title the change, it should look something like "[effects/blur] ...". Also, please remove the video link from the summary.

Updated the summary and the screenshots

• Add brackets to if for convention

@zzag @fredrik what do you think now?

• Handle GLES

Given all this, it's probably best to limit this to desktop GL for now.

@rooty please test it again with this

Fix taskbar blur

@fredrik swoops in and solves every problem!
how it looks with this diff:

Use sRGB textures for blur

I tried experimenting what fredrik suggested without luck so far.
@fredrik @zzag is this the correct approach? This gives the exact same result as not using sRGB textures.

Added wrong file

You put an image there for the sake of an image being there.
It is completely irrelevant to the menu.
How about putting there something relevant, like a png image of a phone and tablet and computer there showing connections?

I think the vertical and horizontal gray lines look great. Less so the diagonal ones that make up the corner.

In T8707#161324, @paldepind wrote:

It still looks great when the corners are over a dark area but when over a light area the rounding looks off. It's like the opacity isn't completely right. It is actually also visible in the screenshot you posted. If you look closely (or zoom in) on the lower right corner on the window with Konqi you can see that a few pixels are "off"

In T8707#161309, @ngraham wrote:

Does your effect keep the corners square when the window is tiled or maximized?

Discover also integrates nicely

If anyone interested there is a KWin effect that rounds the corners of windows.
Here is my fork of it with a few tweaks: https://github.com/alex47/KDE-Rounded-Corners

My arcanist is still borked. Could someone please push this? Thank you.

I'm having problems with my arcanist.
Could someone please land this for me?

Add translucent background attribute to popup menu

@ngraham I'm sorry, but because of my new job I don't have much free time left so I can't actively develop anymore. I'd really like if someone took over this patch.

As others said the dpi scaling should normally be dealt with QImage::setDevicePixelRatio()
As far as I can tell this is not working with Breeze for the following reason:

Rebase on master

Why was this reverted?

In D10063 @hein raised a problem that is an (IMHO very very) edge case when the user has a split terminal (for example in Yakuake) that has different profiles with blur enabled and disabled:

Rebase on master

Shouldn't this go to to Plasma/5.13?

@ngraham it looks weird at the top where the titlebar and the sideborder contact
How about a nice gradient between them?

You can just download the patch as raw diff, reapply to current master and copy the description text from Phab in a new commit message (copy the scheme from earlier commits).

Could someone please land this revision?
My arcanist has a problem with this patch.

This revision depends on D12452
@zzag could you please tell us the status of D12452? I see it's accepted, but not yet landed.

@davidedmundson @zzag
I tested yTranslate = -screen.y(); with kwin_wayland --windowed --xwayland --output-count 2
Once there is a height difference between the displays it doesn't work.

What if we used the same color as the titlebar?

Here is Breeze close button modified to use QPainter::drawRoundedRect() and uses the same radius (3) as the titlebar:

I think you're facing one of X11 issues.
