Description

The Idea

Hey! I was just curious what the status is on KWin stability for the making effects / contributing on KWin will be implemented? I know essentially nothing about GLSL but I want to learn then try a few things out with making my own effects.

The Alternatives

Me figuring it all out on my own lol

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the existing Burn My Windows effect code and KWin's effect development documentation. Identify key steps (e.g., setting up a KWin development environment, writing a simple effect, and testing it). Write a clear guide that helps first time contributors get started with KWin effect contributions.
