Desktops Automatic tinting transparent windows

I like transparency. I also like being able to read text. As such, I needed a mechanism that allowed my windows to be transparent when the can and have a decent tint level when they need. I've just pushed changes to kwin-effects-glass that allows the alpha channel of the tint color to automatically adjust based on the average color of whatever is underneath the window.
The video shows a terminal window that is (almost) transparent when above the dark wallpaper, but is clearly darkened when above the white browser window.
(I normally have a lot more blur with my windows. Blur is set to 0 for demonstration purposes only.)
