I personally hope that one of the first new UI changes to land in Plasma 6 is support for rounded window corners in all corners, not just the titlebar ;)

You only seem half-serious, so I suspect there's something I've missed about KDE corner history.

Anyway, 'picom' can at least grind down those edges (or smooth out, depending on your point of view)

    #################################
    #           Corners             #
    #################################
    # Sets the radius of rounded window corners. When > 0, the compositor will
    # round the corners of windows. Does not interact well with
    # `transparent-clipping`.
    corner-radius = 5

    # Exclude conditions for rounded corners.
    rounded-corners-exclude = [
        "window_type = 'desktop'",
        "window_type = 'dock'",
    ]

There's an infamous very, very long dev discussion thread on the quo vadis of bottom corner trimming (with working patches) :-)

Thanks for much hoped for context )

I am mostly serious. I mean, it's not a huge deal, but it would look awesome :)

I guess maybe I could look into picom. There was also a third party kwin plugin that could do the same thing IIRC.

The picom version is kinda brute, basically crop corners right off.

Maybe a KWin plugin would do it more elegantly - but I guess such a plugin would also have an upper limit to radius... ;]
