[plasmashell] [Bug 427668] If the panel has a shadow, make it not appear over windows, just the desktop

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427668 --- Comment #17 from Nate Graham --- At the moment the shadow is part of the intended design of the Breeze theme. As Niccolò mentioned, if you don't like it, you're welcome to use a different theme, or to fork the Breeze theme to remove the shadow. Of your proposed alternatives, I like the 1px border idea as this could actually increase consistency with other Breeze-window-decoration-themed windows, which also have both a border and a shadow. If you'd like to pursue that option, I'd recommend submitting a new bug report about it. I'd also grudgingly accept a new panel-specific option to disable the shadow, seeing as how we already have other purely visual options to toggle translucency and floatingness. But I'll be a grumpy old man and grouse about it a bit. :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427668 --- Comment #16 from Adam Fontenot --- > the inability to tell where a window ended and the panel began This is an extremely limited issue though, it only happens in rare circumstances. In particular it doesn't affect the window decoration itself so long as the colors are set correctly (as I think Breeze does). If there is an accessibility issue to address, I think it should be addressed with a solution that implements good visual design choices, not relying on the ugly effect of panels casting a shadow on adjacent windows. I can think of a number of (mostly complementary) options: 1. Make panels have a different color than the Breeze theme background color for windows. (This should already be true by default, IIRC?) 2. Give panels a 1 px border on the outside edge. (This exact solution was used to solve the "distinguishing between windows" accessibility problem.) 3. Snap windows the (from the window decorations) away from the panel, instead of directly adjacent to the panel, so the already-existing outline would serve to help distinguish between the window and the panel. 4. Use a slight gradient by default on the panel background. Or we could go with a workaround like: 5. Make this toggleable, just like the outline strength feature was made toggleable. Personally I like the idea of (3) because it reuses a window-distinguishing feature we already have. I think it would probably look nice, although I haven't made a mockup. Can we discuss options that would result in better visual design, rather than closing this because of one relatively rare issue? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

It's quite easy to just change the shadow strength in the theme, and you can add a fallback to the Breeze theme so that only one file is changed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

So I think we have to keep the shadow, sorry. What about configurable shadow strength like is the case with window decorations(it doesn't influence the panel)? The shadow is much more noticeable(too strong) for use with different panel positions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
