Detailed image of the not working transparency
SUMMARY
I was playing a game on my laptop, but I decided to skip the shaders
processing, at first, there was no problem, I was using more resources, of
course, leading to some crashes that was kinda expected. But in one of this
crashes, my entire taskbar turned opaque and also the system notified saying
there was 140MB storage free, I was not worried at first about the opaque
taskbar, I tough that was a KDE functionality to reduce system resources to
give a good gaming experience.
So after I played, I was back into settings trying to re-enable the
transparency/blur effect, but it changed nothing, I tried changing the themes,
the theme changed, but there was still no transparency, I restarted the
computer, nothing, returned to Gnome, which transparency was working, and
changed back to KDE, and it was still not working, and not only transparency,
but most of KDE Effects.
When trying to edit the transparency on Konsole, the following message appeared
(This color scheme uses a transparent background, which seems not to be
supported by your desktop environment).
So something made kde unable to show any transparency effect after I played the
game, this game was running under Proton 6.5 GE-1.
OBSERVED RESULT
Kde lost most of its effects and Konsole was saying that kde seemed to not
support transparency anymore.
EXPECTED RESULT
Transparency and other effects still working after the gameplay.
