matinlotfali/KDE-Rounded-Corners

Description

This effect rounds the corners of your windows and adds an outline around them without much affecting the performance of the KDE Plasma desktop (see #49 and #50).

This effect started as a fork of shapecorners with some additional contributions in Alex47's project, then I optimized and reimplemented the effect with shaders with influences from the invert effect.

I maintain this effect on KDE Plasma desktop version 5.27 to 6.3+ in various Linux distros (See tests).

Installation Instructions

Enable and install the effect using:

sudo dnf copr enable matinlotfali/KDE-Rounded-Corners
sudo dnf install kwin-effect-roundcorners

You may wish to disable the native window outline to prevent it from overlapping and causing visual glitches.

System settings → Themes → Window Decorations → Breeze → Edit icon → Shadows and Outline tab → Outline intensity (Off)

Alternatively, you can use the command below:

kwriteconfig6 --file breezerc --group Common --key OutlineIntensity "OutlineOff"
qdbus-qt6 org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure
