Panel Widget Config Windows Blank/Translucent

Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

When I right-click on widgets in my panel (launcher, pager, clock, etc.) and select configure the floating window is completely transparent and nothing is visible. I have experimented with the translucency option in desktop effects (turned off and on) and blur but cannot figure out how to restore it.

The only Kwin script I have is Krohnkite.

I have been able to restore it via the below however it just returns after I reboot.

# Remove just the panel-related applets config
rm ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc

# Clear plasma cache
rm -rf ~/.cache/plasma*

# Restart plasma shell without logout
plasmashell --replace & disown

hi, welcome.

please post the output of kinfo

usually when weird things like this crop up, the first thing to do is back out any 3rd party add-ons that might be involved.

that kwin script should be the first thing you disable in trying to trouble shoot this.

the next thing to do would be try crating a new user and see if the issue persists in that userspace.

Sincere thanks for your reply.

I believe I figured out the problem through process of elimination but will post here for future reference.

I did as you suggested and deleted my Krohnkite kwin script which was really the only change I made from the vanilla install. However, I realized that after the install the first thing I do is modify the panel and one of the widgets I add is a downloaded Andromeda Launcher.

When I deleted this launcher and replaced it with the default, after reboots even with my kwin and translucency options enabled, the config windows now display properly.

Thank you again for the assistance and time. This is a huge relief and has been a pain for the last few weeks.

Best,

Matt

I am having the same issue but with the calender widget. I asked AI about this and it said that it’s a known issue citing this post. Are the KDE team fixing it?

=================================

Oh, well. Restarting Plasma solved the problem.

killall plasmashell && kstart plasmashell
