Is there any way to make kwin force the window shadow to be a particular
color? Right now it tries to contrast itself with the background
(resulting in a white glow against a darker background), which is
inconsistent and ugly.
Is there a setting, hidden or otherwise where I can disable this
behavior (I’m open to patching and recompiling if necessary).
I tried to set it in the desktop preferences, but no matter what color
I chose, it was ignored. Also, any opacity setting greater than 30% or
so would result in a white shadow, regardless of background color.
I have this same problem as well with the latest KDE 4.2 released by the
opensuse factory.
Menus in programs, mouse-overs in the system tray have the drop shadow
color i have chosen.
program windows do not. plasma mouse-overs do not (like the pop up
from the clock). they all display a slight black shadow. something is
not working here.
