Never understood why this isn't on every distro and DE ever. I want DSL with wobbly windows damnit.
This. Fucking this. Wobbling windows were around in the early days of Ubuntu's existence which was a long ass time ago and it was probably possible to get them even before that. Surely they've figured out a good way to make them work without fucking up your entire system by now.
Edit: oh, turns out KDE already has that option on my system.
Edit 2: Shit. How do you unfuck KDE? Asking for a friend.
KDE always gives you enough rope to hang yourself. Like, set the transparency of all windows to 100% and wonder why the system is fucked, or whatever haha.
Working blind, and from memory (I didn't check my system): depending on your system, there will be a kwin config file in .local or .config or .kde or similar in your home directory. Assuming you have console access, df -h | grep kwin will probably find it for you. Take a peak in the file first to make sure it's reasonable that this is the right file to nuke. Rename it something like kwinrc-backup and restart KDE.
Not OP (OC? Not the person you were helping, you get what I mean), are you sure you meant
df -h?fd -Hseems more useful for to me when trying to find a specific file in a dotfolder, though even that didn't work on my system.fdignores~/.configby default, so you need to usefd -u(which is an alias forfd -I -H) to find the correct files.Anyways, from your description it seems like the correct file would be
~/.config/kwinrc, which exists on my system.It's probable there are better ways at finding things, but sometimes these commands are sort of muscle memory and I don't even think to explore what else is out there once I have something that works for me ;)
It's hard to teach an old dog like myself new tricks. I still think git was a mistake and long for centralized revision control systems... Because that's what I grew up with ;)
Normally, you shouldn't be able to set the transparency to 100% anymore. I remember reporting it as a bug years ago and it getting fix a bit afterwards.
I've always had my desktops set so that I could scroll on the windows borders to set the transparency. It's very convenient.
Its literally the second reason I wanted Zorin OS.
