### Overlay is blurry/non-transparent on KDE Plasma
728+
729+
If the overlay appears blurry instead of transparent on KDE Plasma:
730+
731+
**Cause:** The "Better Blur DX" effect (or similar blur effects) may blur wayscriber's transparent overlay.
732+
733+
**Solution (Option 1 - Configure Better Blur DX):**
734+
1. Open **System Settings****Window Management****Desktop Effects**
735+
2. Click the configure button next to "Better Blur DX"
736+
4. Go to the **Force Blur** tab
737+
5. Add `wayscriber` to the window class list
738+
6. Make sure `Blur all except matching` is selected
739+
7. Click **Apply**
740+
741+
**Solution (Option 2 - Use standard blur):**
742+
1. Disable "Better Blur DX" in **Desktop Effects**
743+
2. Enable the standard "Blur" effect instead
744+
745+
Note: To find wayscriber's window class:
746+
```bash
747+
sleep 2; qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin queryWindowInfo | grep resourceClass
748+
```
749+
Then open wayscriber before the sleep ends.
