This is the round corner plugin for LingmoOS.
To activate the effect, you can now log out and log back in, or run the command below inside the build
directory:
sh ../tools/load.sh
To fully uninstall the effect, run the following commands inside the build
directory:
sh ../tools/unload.sh
sudo make uninstall
After each kwin
package update, the effect becomes incompatible. So it won't load without a rebuild.
As long as the effect is not part of the kwin
yet (being discussed
here), you can automate the re-installation by running the command
below inside the build
directory:
sh ../tools/install-autorun-test.sh
The command above adds a desktop
file inside the autorun
directory which checks if the effect is still supported,
if it is not supported, it will automatically rebuild and reinstall the effect.
If using Breeze (default) window decorations with Plasma 5.27 or higher you may wish to disable the native window outline, to prevent it from overlapping and causing visual glitches.
- System settings -> Themes -> Window Decorations -> Breeze -> Edit icon -> Shadows and Outline tab -> Outline intensity (Off)
You can add shadows for specific windows using the hack below. I don't know how to enforce it in my code.
-
In [ System settings ] -> [ Window management ] -> [ Window rules ] -> [ Appearance & Fixes ]:
Add [steam] and set [ No titlebar ] and frame to [ No ]
-
In [ System settings ] -> [ Application Style ] -> [ Window decoration ] -> [ Breeze theme setting ] -> [ Window specific overrides ]:
Add [steam] and set [ Hide Window title bar ] to [ Yes ].
After that, the Steam window gets its shadows back.
When troubleshooting or reporting an issue, it might be useful to enable Debug logs during the build time using:
cmake .. --DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
cmake --build . -j
After the installation and loading the effect, debug messages would appear in journalctl
:
journalctl -f | grep kwin
or have some colorful logs with
sh ../tools/show-kwin-logs.sh
