I’ve “fixed” it temporary by enabling the “shadowless menus and tooltips” option in kvantum but it creates a 1px dark border around.

Does someone know of a better fix/workaround?

ps. Garuda-inxi in case it’s needed:

Reboot, please, as the ‘swoosh’ indicates. KDE needs the McLovin’.

Sdar · 12 April 2024 13:56

It’s only showing cause I loaded and snapshot for the before/after and then updated again, but the previous time I tried restarting right away , I also restarted several times while trying different kvantum settings.
Right now it says Last full system update: 2024-04-12 and the issue is still there.

Bro · 12 April 2024 14:02

That’s cool.

Kvantum & transparency in Settings is what I would focus on. Big QT6 update today, as you probably noticed. Maybe try a different theme?

Sdar · 12 April 2024 14:32

Right, It doesn’t happen on all themes, but this is the dr460nized one and I got used to it, As soon as I have time I’ll try to see if the sweet theme (afaik dr460nized was based on that) has some updates for plasma6 and try to install that and check.

FGD · 13 April 2024 15:57

There has been some KDE or Sweet or Kvantum updates breaking things.

Some Plasma Panel themes have been affected by this update, the SVGs are not rendering properly, so my guess is it’s not Kvantum nor Sweet related.

I don’t know yet how to fix about the context menus I have other theming bugs prioritized first.

So is this not necessarily a KDE bug? I was about to report the global menus causing plasmashell to go nuts at 100% CPU usage.

It’s by far the worst I’ve seen with Gimp. Seems like non-KDE apps that support the global menu are getting hit the worst by this.

Gnuser · 16 April 2024 06:00

And I thought i messed something up on my system and nuked all the kde apps LOL.
