Example

I would be very happy if the Breeze theme for KWin offered an option for
transparency, allowing Windows Aero style blur for the background. It's one of
the main missing features for the default theme, due to which I've been using
my own Aurorae based theme (Freeze) just to work around this limitation.

When you go to System Settings - Appearance - Application Style - Window
Decorations - Theme, click the little icon with the pen over Breeze (Edit
Breeze Theme), there should be a slider to allow adjusting the transparency. At
the default value of 0 the behavior remains unchanged... when above 0, the
background of the decoration should become transparent and use the blur effect
behind it. I attached a screenshot from my modified Freeze theme as a close
example of how this should look like (50% transparency).
