You could also just hide it by right click the System Tray "triangle", open System Tray Settings, and uncheck the widget under Extra Items.

I know the System Tray keeps a list in ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
Ctrl+F for "hiddenItems=", it's probably in there under "com.github.zren.alphablackcontrol".

In short, it does not work even though disabled. I deleted it's line once from .config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc (under 'known items' and it reappeared after boot. Thank you for the effort.

So first open up the terminal in one window, and "appletrc" in another window. Run "killall plasmashell" in the terminal. Edit the "appletrc" file. Then run "kstart5 plasmashell" in the Terminal to bring back Plasma/panels/wallpaper.

Note the black borders, with only the titlebar being reverted.

Then delete the [WM] section. It should reset the colors to the defaults.
This section:
[WM]
activeBackground=0,0,0
activeBlend=252,252,252
activeFont=Noto Sans,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0,Regular
activeForeground=255,255,255
activeTitleBtnBg=255,0,255
frame=0,0,0
handle=255,0,0
inactiveBackground=0,0,0
inactiveBlend=75,71,67
inactiveForeground=255,255,255
inactiveFrame=0,0,0
inactiveHandle=0,255,0
inactiveTitleBtnBg=0,0,255

Good plasmoid by the way, but perhaps have the option to reset the window border without the need for manually deleting anything from config files, or an option for the colour modification to only affect certain aspects of the window.
Regardless, nice work.
