Issues with Aurorae and Maximized Windows

Hi everyone,

I don’t know if this is a known issue but I could not find anything about it when I searched for it. Whenever I maximize a window while using an Aurorae theme I have two problems. Firstly, the whole system lags for a moment, then the theme breaks and reverts to a flat colour for the title bar:

I have tried many things to try and remedy this:

  • Installed and logged in to an X11 session
  • Created a new user to see if it was just my profile
  • Changing from Aurorae v2 to v1
  • Deleting all themes and cached files
  • Reinstalling KWin
  • Multiple different themes (All present the same issue)
  • Uninstalling Kvantum entirely
  • Disabling all plugins

I do get this error sometimes when I try to maximize windows:
kwin_wayland[1982]: This plugin does not support setting window masks

I am new to Linux so I don’t know 100% if it is related.

Does anybody have any ideas on how this can be fixed? It has severely limited my ability to customize the OS which is a shame as it is part of what drew me to KDE.

For reference:
OS: Fedora Linux 44 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition) x86_64
Kernel: Linux 7.1.4-204.fc44.x86_64
DE: KDE Plasma 6.7.3
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Lite Hash Rate [Discrete]

Please let me know if I can provide any additional information

Thanks!
