Anyone else have issues with ueberzug and know how to fix it? I keep getting these errors in ytfzf when previewing thumbnails using ueberzug
The last error message claims Xlib.ext.shape has no attribute SO even though it totally should. What's your version of python-xlib (pip show python-xlib or use your package manager)? On my working ueberzug setup it's 0.31. Maybe also check/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/Xlib/ext/shape.py and make sure the SO class is in there. Not a solution, but maybe somewhere to start looking.

Capture KDE window close event
If you're using X11, you could look into xlib. But the documentation for the Pyton Xlib is, using its own words, "not finished by far".

KWin dropped xrender backend, bad news for NVidia users?
Recently I discovered that the KWin team has dropped support for xrender in release 5.23. I am interested in the rationale behind this because I currently use xrender as my compositing backend and it is the only suitable option for high refresh rate displays + NVidia.

Anyone know of a way to change the drag to restore distance on maximized windows? It feels way too sticky and has been bugging me for months now. Tried what possible solutions I could find with no avail. Thanks!
I dug through the source looking for something to tweak and there's a lot I still don't understand about how the screen edge events work (like where the mouse exit event is?!? Found mouse enter, can't find anything like an exit event) but I'm confident there is no easy answer to do what you want unfortunately. It seems like if there was a config setting for it, it would be spec'd out here https://github.com/KDE/kwin/blob/24d865ea386654e3856a69277179b082ac2218f4/src/kwin.kcfg

I installed a window decoration to make the window edges smoother and more rounded, if you look closely you can see the borders of the screen, I tried playing with the compositor in the settings and the only option that looks good is XRender, but that renders animations and blur wrong. What to do?
https://github.com/KDE/kwin/blob/master/src/plugins/kdecorations/aurorae/src/aurorae.h this is where aurorare engine is doing its painting and this is where blur support could be added with no other libraries adjustments and dependencies.
What are some alternatives?
