Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz
Using the CompizConfig Setings Manager it is impossible to disable shadows using the Shadow windows configuration. The default value is "any" but changing this to anything else does not have any effect on the visibility of window shadows. Turning shadows off is therefore impossible. The documentation suggests[1] an empty field, which does not work. Inventive other things like "!any" and "title=Calculator" do not have any effect either. To reproduce the bug: 1) Install and open ccsm 2) Go to the Window Decoration plugin 3) Change the default value of "any" in the bottom field (Shadow windows) to anything else What happens: Nothing, I would expect it to have some kind of immediate effect just like with the Decoration Windows field. Rebooting (full restart) does not help. Expected behavior: Either the shadows of some windows would disappear.
