Does KDE Panel still support adaptive opacity?

Question

I have recently moved to KDE Panel from Latte Dock. Apparently KDE Panel has an opacity setting since KDE 5.22. But I don't see that option in panel settings! I only have options for panel alignment and visibility, no opacity. I am on KDE 5.24.6 right now. Is the opacity option removed?

It's still there. But IIRC it's only available if your Plasma theme supports it. For example, Breeze supports it.

Any idea what's needed to be changed in the theme to support it?

From the original MR which implemented adaptive transparency:

This requires the theme to have the following lines in the metadata desktop file:

[AdaptiveTransparency]
enabled=true

That may or may not work but try that with your theme. if it doesn't work just remove those lines from the metadata desktop file.

On Kubuntu 22.04 supports it.
