            Bug ID: 364194
           Summary: Now way to tell windows apart and to find which window
                    is active when compositing is off
           Product: Oxygen
           Version: 5.5.5
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: win deco
          Assignee: hugo.pereira.da.co...@gmail.com
          Reporter: b7.10110...@gmail.com

In KF5 oxygen window decorations now lack "ugly shadows" which in KDE4 served
at least two purposes:

1. Visually separate different windows
2. Indicate which window is active (similarly to shadow vs glow)

In KF5, since no ugly shadows are drawn, oxygen window decoration without
compositing is unusable. I'll attach a screenshot.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn off compositing
2. Open System Settings, on a page where much of the background is system
background color — e.g. Compositor page
3. Open Konsole, move the window over the one opened in step 2, so that Konsole
top is near the top of System Settings window top
4. Try to tell:
    a) where Konsole window ends and System Settings starts
    b) which one is active when you move them apart so that they don't overlap

Actual Results:  
Step 4 is quite hard to do.

Expected Results:  
Step 4 should be at least as easy as it was in KDE4.

Tested on stock Kubuntu 16.04 LiveISO.
