Theming Bazzite (Plasma 6) (ani.social)

Decided to try some new distros and this time it's Bazzite. I can't figure out any way to make any kind of custom themes work and look as expected. I tried few themes with transparent windows from "Global Themes (Plasma 6)" category but transparency doesn't seem to work in any single one of them. I've seen general KDE suggestions to try forceblur/betterblur plugins but it requires compiling it manually and since it is Bazzite, it's quite complicated and I couldn't figure it out (if I compile it in distrobox for some kind of Fedora, will it even work for my Bazzite? if I don't use distrobox, how do I even compile it? it needs tons of extra dnf dev packages). I installed Kvantum via rpm-ostree, but turns out, it doesn't style taskbar and console (also firefox, but I could live with that since I probably can find a matching firefox theme). Any suggestions?

Yes, it is not handler by Kvantum, which means if you install a Kvantum theme, it will not make your panel match that theme, so you still have to do that yourself. I found out about "Panel Colorizer" widget for KDE Panel, which looks very deep and promising, I'll try and see, maybe I can come up with something good by combining multiple approaches.

You're right kvantum wasn't doing it. Panel colorizer worked for me however. Best of luck
