[Request/Help] Plasma 6 Blur Window effect (self.kde)

I've seen some really cool looking desktop effects related to blurring windows on plasma 5, they look really good, but I just can't seem to find solid info on how to replicate it in plasma 6.

I've tried downloading and installing quite a bit and researched the issue a long while before coming to this.

Does anyone have some solid info regarding this that you can link below? I'm running Bazzite 41 and can give further info if needed as well as a reference point for what effect I'm trying to achieve.

The way I did it was to build this. You'll need to rebuild it after every Plasma update. It works on X11 and Wayland.

Thank you! I'll give it a shot later today!

I suppose I had better post the full steps to getting all your windows transparent and blurred instead of the terse thing I did earlier.

Clone and build Better Blur
Open System Settings
Go to Desktop Effects
Disable blur and enable better blur
Go to Window Rules
Add a new rule and set window class to unimportant
Add Active Opacity and choose your opacity level
Add inactive Opacity and choose your opacity level

Thank you!

I've got another question that you may have an answer to. I added some kwin scripts via file, and they just aren't there. Is there a way to remove them? I want to say that they did in fact install, they're just not in the UI.

Have a look under ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/ and see if they're in there. If not, see if they were installed globally by checking /usr/share/kwin/scripts/
