Location of desktop effect files installed from GUI

There’s a desktop effect I use to decrease my screen saturation called “Grayscale Effect” which I installed from the KDE control panel GUI.

The effect has a problem, it’s leaving artifacts when minimizing some windows. To fix it, one line of code needs to be added to the main.js code. There is a pull request on the git of the effect, but it has not been merged for months. I think the repo is abandoned.

I want to fix the problem manually, but I just can’t find where the files are located.

They are not where the git readme says to copy them when doing it manually. Cannot find the mention of the name when doing a system wide search.

could be either;

/usr/share/kwin/effects/
OR
~/.local/share/kwin/effects/

This one, because it doesn’t typically ask for password.

It’s the second one. Thanks!
