A suggestion to make dark window edges on dark backgrounds more distinct: I use a borderless theme with a shadow colour of #808080ff (mid grey). #404040ff (darker grey) works well too.
This makes dark edges on dark backgrounds appear to have a light glow, while light edges on light backgrounds appear to have a dark shadow. You can change this in gconf-editor: /apps/compiz/plugins/decoration/allscreens/options/shadow_color in 10.10; I think it's /apps/compiz/plugins/decor/screen_0/options/shadow_color in natty. (I also use ADD Helper to dim inactive windows to 85% brightness, which is why Banshee is dim in the screenshot.) ** Attachment added: "Example of mid-grey shadows and a borderless theme" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/733233/+attachment/1905672/+files/Grey%20shadows.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733233 Title: Increase shadow area to 45 pixels (but not grip area) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
