Bug ID: 411025
Summary: Remove Dimming Effect on Windows, Move Title Bars
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-present-windows
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: cameron.g.rodg...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
The dimming effect on windows in the Present Windows effect makes it harder to
immediately recognize their contents, as they have less contrast with the
dimmed background. This is compounded by the location of title bars (if they're
enabled), right in the middle of the windows, obscuring their contents. The
title bar location also makes the title bars harder to read too.
Here are some screenshots of similar effects in GNOME, Windows 10, and MacOS:

As you can see, the dimming (if present) is not applied to the windows, and the
title bars are either to the bottom or top. This is better for readability. I
think that at very least, an option to apply this setting in the effect would
improve KDE's looks and usability.
