Glitch in top-left corner

[probonopd]

According to #kwin on IRC, the picture that should appear there is "in the Plasma theme". Which we are not using...

Similarly, snapping windows to screen edges does not work.

# Glow effect when mouse moves to upper-left corner
mkdir -p ./KWin.app/Resources/share/plasma/desktoptheme/default/widgets/
cp /usr/local/share/plasma/desktoptheme/default/widgets/glowbar.svgz ./KWin.app/Resources/share/plasma/desktoptheme/default/widgets/
# Window snap effect preview
cp /usr/local/share/plasma/desktoptheme/default/widgets/translucentbackground.svgz ./KWin.app/Resources/share/plasma/desktoptheme/default/widgets/

Thanks @Pointedstick for the pointer 👍 I would never have started looking in /usr/local/share/plasma rather than in /usr/local/share/kwin.

Yeah, this graphic comes from the active Plasma theme, but KWin should maybe have a fallback effect to handle the case where there are no Plasma themes installed because the DE is something other than Plasma. Can you file an upstream bug report about that?

Thanks!

The issue reappeared.

KWin.app/Resources/share/plasma/desktoptheme/default/widgets/ seems to be wrong, it now apparently has to be KWin.app/Resources/share/plasma/desktoptheme/widgets/ (without default).

This at least fixes the active corners, but the animation for the "Aero snap" still doesn't work (truss shows that it is looking for some ...plasma/core... file).

If the red dot becomes white next to it, will it be repaired?

[probonopd]

Is it still broken in the latest build? If yes, do you know how to fix it?

[louies0623]

It's broken in version 9.0 and still exists without the breeze theme installed. I'm thinking it might be a KWin issue.
