[Download](https://github.com/skbeh/kwin-grayscale-effect/archive/master.zip) or Git Pull\n2. Copy \"kwin4_effect_grayscale\" folder to \"/usr/share/kwin/effects/\", using e.g.\n\n```{.bash}\nsudo cp -r kwin4_effect_grayscale /usr/share/kwin/effects/\n```\n\n3. Copy \"kwin4_effect_grayscale/metadata.json\" to \"/usr/share/kservices5/kwin/\", using e.g.\n\n```{.bash}\nsudo cp kwin4_effect_grayscale/metadata.json /usr/share/kservices5/kwin/\n```\n\n4. Add \"kwin4_effect_grayscaleEnabled=true\" to \"[Plugins]\" section in \"~/.config/kwinrc\" (as a normal user).\n   In case the [Plugins] section is missing from the kwinrc file, just add it.\n\nTo test it for the first time, open `System Settings` \u003e `Desktop Behavior`. In there, open `Desktop Effects`. You should see `Grayscale` in the `Appearance` section. Toggle it a couple of times, and you'll see the grayscale effect at work.\n\n### Known Quirks\n\n- **Settings doesn't apply**:\n  - In System Settings, uncheck \"Grayscale\" and re-check then apply.\n  - Make sure the persmissions in are set to `drwxr-xr-x` for the `kwin4_effect_grayscale` folder and its content. If not, run (as root)\n    ```{.bash}\n    chmod 755 /usr/share/kwin/effects/kwin4_effect_grayscale/\n    find /usr/share/kwin/effects/kwin4_effect_login/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} +.\n    ```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmurat-cileli%2Fkwin-grayscale-effect","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmurat-cileli%2Fkwin-grayscale-effect","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmurat-cileli%2Fkwin-grayscale-effect/lists"}
