Can't get Window title bars, or dolphin folder area to be translucent

[adrianveen]

I can get the side bar of dolphin to be translucent and blurred, but i'm struggling to get the rest of it blurred. I'm not using the darkly colourtheme but unsure if that's a requirement.

I am also struggling to get the window title bars blurred - i'm using darkly decorations for this.

Not sure what other themes or settings i need to share for help with this.

You need to edit your .colors file and add an alpha to the colors where you want transparency

I think i've figured something out for the view transparency - I can submit a PR once i figure out this remaining bug.

For the title bars ya i just ended up editing my colortheme files. But editing the view resulted in system settings and some other windows receiving full transparency without blur, so i looked for an alternative.

The blur is done by plasma itself, so you need the blur desktop effect enabled. Also, it doesn't work with qqc2 applications at the moment so I recommend only using it if you don't plan to use any of those. I couldn't find any qqc2 styles that support transparency and blur with plasma and that makes this issue hard to fix
