[Eyecandy] Improved dynamic tint on transparent windows

In a world where people like transparent windows, they've forever suffered the "dark text on dark background" (or, light text on light background). The latest glass plugin for kwin now has dynamic tinting. The example demonstrates the pixel level dynamic tinting. The setup for the demo was a full screen random youtube video playing below konsole. Dynamic tinting enabled with a tint color set to #ffb7b7b7

recorded on my 2015 macbook air (a classic).

I need to know how chicago 95 would look with transparency

First things first: s]orry fo]r this but my keyb]oard is bugging the letter ]o and rand]omly typing a ] as y]ou can see

I want ]to use a glass-retr]o style f]or my cachy}OS, but i c]ouldn't find anythi]ng, like, literally all i f]ound was this c]o]ncept

I tried my best but even retr]o wind]ow dec]orati]ons were hard t]o find l]oo]king retr]o and transparent

the best i c]ould achieve was:
c]ollo]r scheme: kvantum alt
app style: kvantum with fluent dark theme
plasma: black glass
wind]ow deco]rati]on: black glass
ic]on: retr]ofukati]on (i didnt search f]or ic]on packs yet, just used the repo]sito]ry)

i feel like it's preety cl]ose fr]om what i want, but it just d]oest hit the same.

I d]on't kn]ow h]ow t]o ajust the svg files and h]ow t]o manipulate kvantrum yet, if I did i w]ould already have d]one it, if it picks y]our interest ]or y]ou kno]w h]ow to] d]o it, i beeeeg please make it true!

(there is a rule ab]out deskt]op screensh]ots, if this usage o]f it is n]ot al]owed i'm s]orry, i d]ont really kn]ow which ]other use w]ould be, i d]on't even kn]ow if this type o]f p]ost is n]ormal here)

Automatic tinting transparent windows

I like transparency. I also like being able to read text. As such, I needed a mechanism that allowed my windows to be transparent when the can and have a decent tint level when they need. I've just pushed changes to kwin-effects-glass that allows the alpha channel of the tint color to automatically adjust based on the average color of whatever is underneath the window.

The video shows a terminal window that is (almost) transparent when above the dark wallpaper, but is clearly darkened when above the white browser window.

(I normally have a lot more blur with my windows. Blur is set to 0 for demonstration purposes only.)

My KDE Setup

Long-time GNOME user here, currently trying out KDE. I actually tried KDE about 2–3 years ago, but I really didn't like the out-of-the-box experience back then. Everything felt a bit inconsistent and out of place.

One thing I'll always give GNOME credit for is how coherent and polished it feels. The design language is very consistent throughout the entire desktop experience. That said, I've always been frustrated by how often you need extensions or additional tweaks just to get what I consider basic functionality.

KDE, on the other hand, has come a long way. The amount of built-in functionality available out of the box is honestly top-tier, and that's something I've really appreciated. I still wasn't a huge fan of the default look, though, so I decided to go all-in on customization this time around.

So far, I'm absolutely loving it. KDE feels incredibly powerful while still letting me make the desktop look exactly how I want.

I love how capable KDE is

I didn't do a lot on my machine but I think this is just enough for me to use it as a daily driver and get some stuff done at work.
