I’ve seen some really cool looking desktop effects related to blurring windows on plasma 5, they look really good, but I just can’t seem to find solid info on how to replicate it in plasma 6.

I’ve tried downloading and installing quite a bit and researched the issue a long while before coming to this.

Does anyone have some solid info regarding this that you can link below? I’m running Bazzite 41 and can give further info if needed as well as a reference point for what effect I’m trying to achieve.

      I suppose I had better post the full steps to getting all your windows transparent and blurred instead of the terse thing I did earlier.

      1. Clone and build Better Blur
      2. Open System Settings
      3. Go to Desktop Effects
      4. Disable blur and enable better blur
      5. Go to Window Rules
      6. Add a new rule and set window class to unimportant
      7. Add Active Opacity and choose your opacity level
      8. Add inactive Opacity and choose your opacity level

        Thank you!

        I’ve got another question that you may have an answer to. I added some kwin scripts via file, and they just aren’t there. Is there a way to remove them? I want to say that they did in fact install, they’re just not in the UI.

          Have a look under ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/ and see if they’re in there. If not, see if they were installed globally by checking /usr/share/kwin/scripts/
