two ways to display shadows

Wed Jul 07, 2010 9:36 am
Hi, I'm using KDE 4.4.90 and I wonder why there are two ways to display window-shadows. There is an option under "workspace-effects" and under the "Oxygen-windows-decoration".

It's a bit confusing, isn't it?


P.S. Words with "" are translated from my German version of KDE.

Not sure why there is this duplication... would you mind please filing a bug report at bugs.kde.org noting this as duplication?

There came change that KWin effect does not anymore make the shadow but the KWin decoration. But not all decorations have the shadow so the KWin effect need to be done it then.

AFAIK

I also recognized, that the window-decorations make no shadows on pop-up-menues. You have to enable kwin-shadows for this. Not very userfriendly.
