Version: unknown (using KDE 3.1.9) Compiler: gcc version 3.2.3 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-ck2 the shadows for the text under the desktop icons look more like margins to reproduce: 1. right click on desktop 2. configure desktop 3. background 4. advanced options... 5. enable shadow 6. look at the 'shadows' I use selfcompiled KDE3.2 alpha2 on Slackware 9.1
Subject: Re: New: shadows on icons text look more like margins > 6. look at the 'shadows' Yes, and... ? What do you mean by "margins"? This report is pretty vague.

Maybe the name of the feature isn't 100% correct, but this is the intended effect. The goal is that you can read the text whichever background picture you use, so that's why the 'shadow' (the dark outline) must be all around the letters, not just like a bottom-right shadow.
it would be nice to have a real shadow so maybe you could change the name to 'enable margin' and add a feature with a real drop shadow.

This is the way shadows look like when the sun comes from above. So close the bug report. Greetings, Stephan
we could put that in the kdesktop docu I guess
Subject: kdebase/kdesktop CVS commit by faure: There seems to be an agreement that the shadows should look more like shadows (bottom-right instead of "sun above"). This makes the text easier to read e.g. when selecting icons.

what about giving this a nice drop down box ("Desktop Text FX" => Shadow, border, etc.) from which one can select the one or the other? Don't think that'd be far too complicated and mindless..
