Sorry Daniel, I meant it was related to the old fake shadow we were using in old releases... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/858378 Title: Unity panel shadow is faked by drawing it on the desktop background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/858378/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 858378] Re: Unity panel shadow is faked by drawing it on the desktop background
Oh I think I see why 3v1n0 changed the status. The graphical bugs described in Bug Description are mostly fixed now. However I think we need to ignore those. The fact remains that Unity should not be painting its own shadows. It should be leaving it up to the compiz decor plugin. ** Description changed: - As seen in the attached screenshot, the panel shadow in Unity (both in - 11.04 and 11.10) is drawn by simply overlaying it on the desktop - background. This causes a bit of ugliness when switching desktops (see - the thumbnails in the desktop switcher in the screenshot where one can - see a dark line at the top of each desktop), or when toggling expo - (there is no panel shadow), and is a bit of a cheap trick [with all - due respect :)]. + Unity paints its own panel shadow independently of the regular window + shadows. This is a redundant hack and should be avoided in future. + + Until 13.04, this caused several rendering bugs with respect to other + Compiz plugins. However most of those rendering bugs (described below) + have now been fixed under separate bug IDs. But the shadow is still + faked by Unity. Hence this bug. + + ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: + As seen in the attached screenshot, the panel shadow in Unity (both in 11.04 and 11.10) is drawn by simply overlaying it on the desktop background.

[Bug 858378] Re: Unity panel shadow is faked by drawing it on the desktop background
(Originally posted on the wrong bug (#967294); apologies if I shouldn't have re-posted it here) When showing a LibreOffice presentation on two screens in extended mode, the Unity panel shadow obscures the top of the presentation, which looks really ugly. I'm assuming this is caused by how Unity fakes the panel shadow. (note that setting the presentation window to Always on top in Slideshow settings does *not* fix the problem) Are there any other workarounds beyond removing the panel shadow completely as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/967294/comments/4 ? ** Attachment added: Unity panel shadow obscuring the LibreOffice presentation window on the external monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/858378/+attachment/3118229/+files/Unity%20shadow%20hiding%20LibreOffice%20presentation.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/858378 Title: Unity panel shadow is faked by drawing it on the desktop background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/858378/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
