Can I make "Present Windows" use the wallpaper?

Can I make “Present Windows” use the desktop wallpaper, but without blurring and applying the theme color like it is doing now?

Why I would like to do so: 1. depending on the theme color the result can be quite ugly, since the wallpaper and theme color might clash, especially if the theme isn’t just a boring mostly black or mostly white. And 2. since outside of the “Present Windows” situation my screen is usually completely covered with a pile of windows this is also the only moment in time where I could reasonably see and appreciate larger parts of the desktop wallpaper.

What I investigated so far: It seems like any theme choice results in this blur and tint effect on the wallpaper background, so I’m assuming it’s built-in and no theme tweak will get me around it. But is there perhaps a separate setting for this? I’m still on plasma 6.2.4. Sorry if the answer is super obvious.

Hi - I believe the blur effect in the Present Windows view is an intentional part of the design and isn’t built to be configurable: 457495 – Make background blur disable-able, like in Overview effect

However, you might get something closer to what you’re looking for with the Overview, where above the blurred background, each desktop is presented with the windows arranged over an unfiltered wallpaper:

The Overview seems to use up a lot of screen space for a feature I don’t really use, the workspace switcher. But thank you, I appreciate the input.
