Hi,

As I mentioned at /www.kde-look.org I'm having some issues with the transparentpanel.py script.

Firstly, newly created themes don't have the transparent panel at first, but running the script a second time, or disabling and re-enabling compositing will make the selected panel transparent.

Secondly the selected panel isn't transparent after logout/login but regains transparency after toggling compositing. I suppose these issues are related.

This is what I did:
I removed all themes from ~/.local/share/plasma/desktoptheme/ and then cleared all theme related files from ~/.cache/
Then ran the script:

┌─[steve@arch][~]
└─[$]> cd Downloads
┌─[steve@arch][Downloads]
└─[$]> python transparentpanel.py --list
['default', 'breeze-light', 'air', 'breeze-dark', 'oxygen']
[]
┌─[steve@arch][Downloads]
└─[$]> python transparentpanel.py breeze-dark South
main theme: breeze-dark
Disabled Shadows
top
topleft
topright
left
right
┌─[steve@arch][Downloads]
└─[$]> 

So it looks ok there but the bottom panel wasn't transparent until I did the further actions described above.

Unfortunately I can't try the MX theme as I don't have a copy and the theme's creator doesn't have any files marked as active to download on kde-look. I left a message about that there a little while ago. I tested with the KArc-Transparent theme and the panel was transparent at login, so no problems there.

Please let me know if there's any other info that could help.

I use a transparent East panel, but I have a non-transparent top panel, centered, which does not span the whole width of the screen. So it would be nice to get a CLI (non-interactive) way to disable all shadows, as otherwise there's an awkward shadow at the right and bottom-right of this top panel.

Thanks again for this project!

For example, to make both the right and top panels transparent, it would be nice to do something like

python ./transparentpanel.py default East North

The panel transparency doesn't work with the new Plasma 5.19.2

Hi!
Thanks for your work. Great plasmoid!
The script does not work well with Minimalistic theme (you can find it on kde-look). I used it as

python transparentpanel.py Minimalistic South

and the new theme has ALL panel transparent. How can I fix it?
Thank you!

I'm on latest KDE Neon User with Plasma 5.8 and the script throws an error, finishes its task but the resulting theme won't apply transparency:

When I run trasparent.sh (typo there btw - missing 'n') The resulting gui is too large vertically to fit on my desktop (1366x768). I need to alt+left click and move the window above the desktop, then resize it lower to see the bottom of the window. More importantly the "Generate New Theme" button can't be seen:
