Lower Opacity of Previous Branches in Kando Tree & Put Them Below New Branch

[WMan22]

Description

Currently, if you have a heavily occupied kando menu, there is a chance for buttons to overlap on top of each other, like so:

I would like for kando to not only put older branches beneath new branches, but lower the opacity of branches closer to the root of the kando menu every time you open into a new branch.

Affected Desktop Environments

All

Additional Information

Tested on Kando 1.7.0 Appimage, KDE Plasma Wayland, Nobara Project 41.

Thanks for the suggestion! I think both aspects are controlled by the menu theme. But keeping older branches below the current one should be indeed the default behavior. With the transparency, we have to experiment, I think. I am not sure that it will look good with every theme.

Perhaps it doesn't have to lower opacity, but rather desaturate the color of older branches into becoming more dark grey and featureless as you click into newer branches.

Essentially the whole point of this is more of a bugfix meets QoL than a feature request, since my main issue is more that, as seen in the picture, for some reason the older branch of the kando menu is put in render priority above the new one that I'm actually trying to click on.
