Whats the main challenge in KDE adoption for New users, and how can it be addressed?
That's why I developed Klassy to try and experiment with alternatives, and tried to make the window decoration icons more like what was in KDE1 and visually represent the window shape. I would also be willing to make a simpler, stripped-down version with fewer configuration options if necessary.

Why do so many window decorations have massive Borders? (Ay fix?)
Breeze isn't affected because it's written as C++ code instead of just using images and a text config file, but the downside is that it's a lot more complicated to create a custom one (the only one I know of that still appears to see some development is Klassy, which is a fork of Breeze).
- Window decorations not blurring

I can't figure out how to make the top of the windows transparent with Kvantum.
Try installing Klassy windows decoration. It has option to configure the amount of transparency. If it doesn't work too, there some issue that would need a bug report
- What's up with Klassy window decoration? Is it impossible to use it anymore?
- Why the awful desktop and logout / lock screen freeze has not been fixed yet?
