Ok, so that's the Kicker applet, which appears to be living on a Plasma panel.
So I'm not sure what exactly you mean when you say you switched to XFCE since
you're clearly still using Plasma.

Did you replace KDE's KWin window manager with XFCE's xfwm4 window manager? If
so then I think this would be expected since the blur behind the transparency
comes from a KWin effect and most likely xfwm4 does not have the same effect.

If you want the panel and all applets to be opaque, you can do that in the
following way:

Right-click on panel > Enter Edit Mode > click "More Options" on the panel
toolbar > click "Opaque". That should make the panel and all applets on it
opaque, which will work around the bug of a lack of blur behind the transparent
UI elements due to using a different window manager.

Does that work?

Alternatively, you can go back to using KWin, and things should overall work
much better. :)
