Yes I agree furthermore, these shaws look really ugly compared to the shiny oxygen style. See screenshot. This should be assigend to oxygen team maybe? Created attachment 28063 [details]
What's this shadow looks ugly
This bug should be marked as fixed as it is ont true with plasma and kwin 4 anymore It is still true even if compositing is enabled. Try a "what's this" in systemsettings for example. (or see my attachment) The tooltip and the fake shadow are drawn by Qt, so you need to report this to qt-bugs@trolltech.com or use the form at http://trolltech.com/bugreport-form Its not the tooltip shadow I'm refering to. It's the shadow of the "whats this help" Steps to reproduce: 1. Open an applicaiton that has an integrated "whats this" help (example: systemsettings in kde4) 2. Find an option with "whats this" help (for example in Desktop settings under look and feel -> Desktop effects) 3. Use right click to get whats this help or hit shift-f1 and then click on the option with the whats this help. (example: "Enable desktop effects") 4. Dislike the displayed little window with a nasty old styled shadow :) "It's the shadow of the "whats this help"" yes, this is done by Qt. Someone from qt told me that there are these reports about the class used (QWhatsThis): #191944 #183727 #183714 (on http://www.trolltech.com/developer/task-tracker) The class does not get much love from qt because as suspected its not used much. So hmm we will live with that uglyness I think, hopefully nobody will use whats this :D > ... hopefully nobody will use whats this :D
At least in KDE 3 times this was a often used feature. And I think it still makes a lot of sense. But how much work can it be to just remove this fake shadow? At the end this would be *less* code to maintain.
