Change Details

I tweaked the contrast effect values to make Breeze a bit prettier (also similiarly to what's described here https://notmart.org/blog/2013/11/plasma2-all-about-elegance/). I changed transparency from .6 to .8 (dialog) and .88 (panel) to adapt to those changes. To improve legibility, I changed the background from ColorScheme-Background to ColorScheme-ViewBackground (otherwise it was a bit too gray-ish). The panel transparency is a bit higher as a workaround of the bottom-white-area on blur bug. Not included in this patch, but suggested to go with it, is using the max blur radius by default. Please see the screenshots to better understand the general picture:

The panel transparency is a bit higher as a workaround of the bottom-white-area on blur bug. I added a new panel_background.svg file to the dark theme as it needs to be less opaque than the light version. I removed the intensity value as: - Even with default breeze, it was calculated incorrectly and resulting in weird colors. Making the saturation higher made that even more visible; see: https://i.postimg.cc/qMD5mwnc/image.png. I created a bug report about this at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416699 - As far as I understood it, the intensity value was calculated based on the darkness of the wallpaper. I did not see any noticeable difference on dark wallpapers when setting the intensity to a fixed value, and all the content is absolutely readable.
