[Breeze] [Bug 427668] panel has a shadow which appears on top of windows
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427668 --- Comment #3 from Adam Fontenot --- Created attachment 132455 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=132455=edit screenshot of the problem One more thing - I just realized why it might not be obvious that this looks weird. If you're using the default Breeze settings, which has the dark title bar, the shadow is basically invisible when the window is focused. However, if you're using the light title bar, especially with gradients disabled, it ends up looking very strange and bad on the focused window - to the point it's kind of distracting for maximized windows that the user wants to focus on. Screenshot included. Maybe the panel shadow behavior could automatically change if the user switches to a light title bar? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I think the big issue here is that I like the panel shadow and I don't want to get rid of it. I just want windows to be drawn on *top* of the shadow, not below it. So the only thing the shadow should appear on top of is the Desktop. This is what macOS appears to do, for example; it makes for a nice clean edge between the panel and a maximized window. So effectively to solve this I'd need to be able to change whatever the equivalent of z-index is for this platform to fix this, and I would be surprised if this can be done from a theme. If it can be, maybe you can point me in the right direction? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427668 Nate Graham changed: What|Removed |Added Status|REPORTED|RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INTENTIONAL CC||n...@kde.org --- Comment #1 from Nate Graham --- This is indeed intended. You can turn it off by disabling compositing, though that will disable *all* the shadows everywhere, in addition to animations, so that might be too big a stick. In the end this is why we have Plasma themes: so people can self satisfy if the default aesthetics don't suit their tastes. I get that this can be frustrating when there's *just one thing* you'd like to change but everything else is fine. However that *just one thing* differs so widely from person to person that we can't really add enough options to satisfy everyone without making the Breeze theme a meta-theme that would horn in on many other 3rd-party themes' reasons for existing. So I think this has to stay the way it is in the default Breeze theme, sorry. :) Feel free to create a "breeze shadowless panel" theme though! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
