Shadows be gone!

Tue Sep 11, 2012 2:06 pm
I have disabled all shadows from windows as far as I know, but I still have a single instance on right-click (standard menu).
Any ideas where the setting or image is for this shadow?

Ok I sorted out I needed a restart here. I'll mark this as solved, but say that tuning shadows to something a little more realistic has been a let down of sorts. With the default settings starting at size=40 and offset= 2px you would anticipate a fair degree of fine tuning was available to you. Unfortunately changes were only noticeable at size=20 and size=10. Sizes < 10 and you might as well disable shadows altogether. Certainly at size=10, results did not equate to 25% of default.

Aurorae does not allow to tweak the shadows.

I think i found how to do it:

Edit in inkscape the theme file (chrome gray in my case): ~/.kde/share/apps/aurorae/themes/chrome-grayscale/decoration.svgz

The shadows I was referring to are located at SystemSettings > Workspace Appearance > Configure Decoration button > Menus.
