I personally choose 0.4 for opacity, but I was now thinking whether higher or lower values could be better. I took 50 screenshots in different conditions, but since those are a bit difficult to upload to Phab, I also made a website which helps you pick a value: https://niccolo.venerandi.com/backstage/files/opacity/compare.html - I'd suggest using fullscreen and trying a couple of times. It's very hacky and bad-written, but it's only supposed to be a quick tool. You can also see *all* screenshots at https://niccolo.venerandi.com/backstage/files/opacity/{0.2,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.8}/{1:10}.png REPOSITORY R242 Plasma Framework (Library) REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D27122 To: niccolove, ndavis, ngraham Cc: ndavis, filipf, ngraham, davidedmundson, kde-frameworks-devel, manueljlin, Orage, LeGast00n, The-Feren-OS-Dev, cblack, konkinartem, ian, jguidon, Ghost6, jraleigh, zachus, MrPepe, fbampaloukas, squeakypancakes, alexde, IohannesPetros, GB_2, trickyricky26, ragreen, michaelh, crozbo, ZrenBot, firef, bruns, alexeymin, skadinna, himcesjf, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, aaronhoneycutt, abetts, sebas, apol, ahiemstra, mbohlender, mart
