Hello.
I am a fairly new user for Garuda and keep running into this issue. The best way to describe it is my screen will turn black and white. One part will focus and be in color. I've tried searching the forums with no luck. I may be searching for the wrong things.
I've played around with my settings and can't seem to find anything that would cause this.
I first noticed it while playing wow, so i thought it was the game itself but it later happened while watching a video on YouTube.
It sounds like a focus plugin, or e.g. you have Kwin set to desaturate unfocussed windows.

Thanks, for the suggestion I haven't changed any settings from default really, is that something that would be enabled out of the box? I see that unresponsive applications are set to desaturate, just odd that there's typically a small section of the screen maybe 1/8 of the totally screen that will remain normal.
