<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">It's a definitively visual improvement with many themes (including and esp. air), but eg. (old) oxygen and several others still get me a black overlay that does not much look like a frame or window and with "opaquity" it's (surprise) *opaque* (ie. one side of the screen turns -near- black)
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma/ThemeDetails
/translucentbackground.svg: a standard background image for plasmoids that for their nature are bigger and with not much text. In this case a translucent background looks better. It needs the same elements of background.svg in it. If this file is not present, the plasmoids that uses this will use background.svg instead.
There's (unfortunately) no explicit requirement on that either this is translucent or exists at all (what will get us the regular "solid" background)
For the beginning, i'd strongly recommend to elevate the to-be-tiled window over the "outline".</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">@Plasma devs: could you please clarify whether there is a theme element which is guaranteed to be translucent?
I'll update the patch with the elevating code.</pre>

Uses widgets/translucentbackground as FrameSvg item to ensure that we
don't get a huge black square on the screen.
When bordering a screen edge we disable the border except if all edges
are bordered. This makes a little bit more clear in the quick tiling case
what will be the geometry.
Blur behind the outline does not work as:
* moving the window generates artefacts
* moved window needs to be above the outline, but outline needs to be on
top of everything. Elevating the moved window results in strange
side effects when moving the window "below" a keep above, etc.</pre>
