[kwin] [Bug 409612] Disable shadows when windows are put side by side
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409612 --- Comment #8 from Raphaël Jakse --- Fair enough. I still think this would be beneficial. I guess working on this idea would require thorough thinking if more people wanted this, to avoid breaking people's workflow (https://xkcd.com/1172/). Should someone be interested in this in the future, I'm willing to participate in the, don't hesitate to shout at me. Thanks for your time, and particularly Nate for kindly answering my wishes / ideas here every single time! Christoph Feck: Thanks for your suggestion. Kile is really nice, though this bug prevents me from really using it: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406836 I can't write a patch for now, maybe later when I have more time if this is still an issue. I also use texstudio from time to time for grammar spelling, but it has a similar bug unfortunately (and it's not Kate, which I became somewhat dependent on…). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

That's fine for you since you use the default Breeze color scheme. But for users of Breeze Dark, or Breeze Light--or any other color scheme where the titlebar doesn't change much or at all in response to changing focus--it wouldn't work at all. That's why we can't just unconditionally disable shadows for tiled windows. We need to support those use cases too.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409612 --- Comment #3 from Raphaël Jakse --- To be completely clear, I agree that shadows in the general case should stay, and removing them would be problematic (unfortunately, I screwed up my previous message). Had I found them useless in the general case, I would have completely disabled them. I take note that this is considered intentional but for posterity, here are screenshots where I find shadows distracting rather than helpful, and focus enough shown thanks to the title bars. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Without shadows, tiled windows that happen to have the same edge colors will visually blend into one another, which looks bad (turn off compositing and then tile some windows and you'll see what I mean). Also, without shadows, the only way to tell which window is in the foreground would be by looking at titlebar colors. When using a color scheme in which the titlebar doesn't change color on gain or loss of focus (e.g. the Breeze Dark or Breeze Light color schemes), then it's impossible. For those reasons, I think it has to stay as it is. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
