This. Fucking this. Wobbling windows were around in the early days of Ubuntu’s existence which was a long ass time ago and it was probably possible to get them even before that. Surely they’ve figured out a good way to make them work without fucking up your entire system by now.
Edit: oh, turns out KDE already has that option on my system.
Edit 2: Shit. How do you unfuck KDE? Asking for a friend.
KDE always gives you enough rope to hang yourself. Like, set the transparency of all windows to 100% and wonder why the system is fucked, or whatever haha.
Working blind, and from memory (I didn’t check my system): depending on your system, there will be a kwin config file in .local or .config or .kde or similar in your home directory. Assuming you have console access, df -h | grep kwin will probably find it for you. Take a peak in the file first to make sure it’s reasonable that this is the right file to nuke. Rename it something like kwinrc-backup and restart KDE.
Normally, you shouldn’t be able to set the transparency to 100% anymore. I remember reporting it as a bug years ago and it getting fix a bit afterwards.
I’ve always had my desktops set so that I could scroll on the windows borders to set the transparency. It’s very convenient.
