klassy VS LightlyShaders

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.

If you want to bypass problems in Aurorae, you can almost exactly recreate that window decoration using Klassy and the "use system icon theme" with Papirus icons:

See discussion at: https://github.com/paulmcauley/klassy/issues/61

Not so straightforward setup but here you go: - Plasma theme: Modified lightly-plasma - Application theme: this fork of Lightly - Window decoration: Klassy - Window rounded corners: (LightlyShaders KWin effect)[https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders/] - Wallpaper - Plasma and everything else colors: kde-material-you-colors

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).

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

There is a fork of LightlyShaders at https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders which sort of works on Wayland from git master but not as well as it used to on previous KWin versions.

This is the best fork I think https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders

Well there are things like https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders which come close.

Check out https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders Currently using the v2.0 branch of that desktop effect in combination with https://github.com/kupiqu/SierraBreezeEnhanced and here is how my desktop looks right now: https://imgur.com/a/Mb52FkL

I use this Desktop Effect (Lightlyshader) for my rounded corners, the only problem is, it does not play nice with many other Desktop effects(Wobbly, Magic Lamp, etc), so test it and see what break or doesn't.

You may want to give LightlyShaders KWin effect a try and see how it compares to kde-rounded-corners effect.

how is it different from: https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders

I was using https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders for rounded corners and it appears to have stopped working after the update. Can anyone confirm or is it just for me?
