Both are now fixed in precise, well, "fixed". Previously we used to use the shadow radius and information specified by the theme so that we could have active and inactive shadows on windows specified by the theme, so that it wouldn't look bad on other themes. However, to do that, we had to carry a patch on libmetacity, and it means that light themes won't work outside of ubuntu. I decided earlier this cycle to just drop the patch and read the settings from mutter for the invisible grab borders (since it now suppoorts those) and use the compiz settings for the shadows (though, really, the compiz settings for the shadows need to die, since it doesn't make sense to apply them across all decorators and the way that we read and write the settings there are really awkward (some protocol going over X properties)) > -- > You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz > packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/708786 > > Title: > unity-window-decorator ignores shadow settings from the Window > Decoration plugin > > To manage notifications about this bug go to: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/708786/+subscriptions > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz > Post to : [email protected] > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp > -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/708786 Title: unity-window-decorator ignores shadow settings from the Window Decoration plugin To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/708786/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
