Description:
kwinscript that tries to mimic Compiz opacify under kwin
Any window that fully or partially cover the active window will automatically become transparent.

Post install steps (to work around a kwin script/plasmapkg2 issue)
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/kservices5
ln -s ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/opacify-kwin/metadata.desktop ~/.local/share/kservices5/opacify-kwin.desktop

* requires xprop in path
* X11 only. Does not work under wayland

Known Issue:
* top window will stay transparent if you click to raise a window lower on the stack

Will this app have a version for plasma 6? My Garuda forced entry to plasma 6. But this add-on is more important to me than plasma 6. Now I'm unable to use it... 😐

8 Looks great so far! Would be also nice to see some opacity transition animation - so that window will not become transparent immediately, but with an animation
