I think somebody has to implement the changes introduced with KWin 5.25

This fork seems to be patched for blurred regions and other fixes.

Sorry, I did not recognize the current situation with this project.
Indeed, the changes in the fork address this issue.
I have no experience in qt or cpp, but I hope a new maintainer will eventually step up.
Has anybody talked to KDE folks, if they are thinking about adapting Lightly and its changes?
I saw that Nate Graham is in the list of contributors of this project and Lightly could be a more modern alternative for Breeze.

I've been doing the bare minimum in my fork and I'd love to continue it here, but Luwx is inactive so it's... Hard. I don't want/plan to do a hostile takeover of distribution channels.

I've considered it, as a first step I'd like to sync lightly back up with normal breeze, which I track at boehs#2

@boehs
Great to hear from you. I´d suggest you wait until May. The last commit in this repo was on May 2, 2022.
Hard to say if he gets active again, but a currently broken version, due to KDE updates, does not help anybody.
Also for anybody that wants to try Lightly it would be better to have a dedicated repo from you, if you want to invest that time into this project.
I would not want to use Breeze again after discovering Lightly.
