Custom blur region for panel background #50

Closed luisbocanegra closed 3 weeks ago

luisbocanegra commented 4 weeks ago

So I have been inspecting how the panel background blur works:

The blur region (panelMask) is read from the panel background svg file qml side
The background region is then read from c++ side
And applied some lines below using KWindowEffects::enableBlurBehind

So I thought what if I replace the panelMask with my own? And I did!

I created a function that receives the panel background QRect, the radius and a offset thing also coming from the default panel
With that then creates a rounded QPainterPath which is then returned to qml with the propper format

It works and is beautiful!
