Just installed Polonium window manager and it suggests this effect but i can't find anywhere how to actually install it. I downloaded the tar.gz but neither Desktop0 Effects nor KWin Scripts settings can install it.

If you're running Plasma 5, try version 1.1 of this effect.

I've added notes to the newer versions stating that they're incompatible with Plasma 5.

KirilOkun commented 3 months ago

I'm on Plasma v 6.0.4

There are a few different ways you can install a desktop effect:

extract the contents of the package folder from the tar.gz into ~/.local/share/kwin/effects/kwin4_effect_geometry_change,
open the Desktop Effects settings, click on "Get New Desktop Effects", find the "Geometry Change" effect, and install it, or
clone this repo and run make install.

I had this installed via KDE and the software store but it didn't want to work. Here's how I fixed it @KirilOkun:

Disable it if it's enabled on desktop effect
Delete the folder rm -rf ~/.local/share/kwin/effects/kwin4_effect_geometry_change
Reinstall it via store
Enable it (Apply), Disable it (Apply), Enable it (Apply)
