## What it is
A KWin effect plugin that rounds the corners of windows and adds outlines in KDE Plasma 5.27 through 6.7+, implemented with shaders for low performance overhead. It supports both Wayland and X11 and ships as .deb/.rpm packages for various distros.

## Use cases
- round window corners in KDE Plasma
- add outlines around windows in KWin
- make KDE Plasma look like macOS with rounded corners
- customize window appearance on KDE Plasma 6
- apply rounded corners effect on Wayland

## When to choose
- you use KDE Plasma 5.27+ or 6.x and want rounded window corners
- you want a GPU-shader-based effect with minimal performance impact
- you need both Wayland and X11 support

## When to avoid
- you use a desktop environment other than KDE Plasma
- you run Kubuntu 22.04 without backports (Plasma 5.24 not supported)
- you want window theming beyond corner rounding
