LingmoOS-Rounded-Corners

This is the round corner plugin for LingmoOS.

Load & Unload

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

Auto install after KWin update

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.

Tips

Disable conflicting native window outline

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)

Add shadow to windows without decoration (like Steam)

You can add shadows for specific windows using the hack below. I don't know how to enforce it in my code.

1. In [ System settings ] -> [ Window management ] -> [ Window rules ] -> [ Appearance & Fixes ]:

   Add [steam] and set [ No titlebar ] and frame to [ No ]

2. 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.

Add Debug Messages

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
