I would like to introduce another suggestion, which has not yet came up: If you don't want to blur everything, how about to only blur an rectangle underneath the login controls. That means a combination of early Plasma 5 > The early Plasma 5 login screen put a dark translucent rectangle underneath the foreground elements, which worked just fine and the current one + the enhanced contrast: F6457437: Screenshot_20181129_233135.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F6457437> I am sorry that this a pretty bad mockup, but Gimp works completely counterintuitive to me. Otherwise it'd look better and there were round corners. :) REPOSITORY R120 Plasma Workspace REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D16031 To: ngraham, #vdg, #plasma, rizzitello, davidedmundson Cc: alexde, raddison, romangg, davidedmundson, rizzitello, abetts, pstefan, broulik, rikmills, filipf, rooty, plasma-devel, ragreen, Pitel, ZrenBot, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, sebas, apol, mart
