The problem is added to window title in 4.8 beta Changes to the problem in 4.8 beta if I deselect oxygen windows shadows |

Is this still an issue? yes, kwin shadows rendered wrong! I'm used GF FX5200LE with nvidia-173xx drivers and KDE 4.7.1. try "kwin --replace --graphicssystem raster &" resp. but rather not: "kwin --replace --graphicssystem native &" and report the result. Also please check if the result is the _very_same_ (attach a shot in doubt) with the bespin widget style (the window decoration doesn't matter) In doubt you'll have to use the xrender backend or try your luck with the nouveau driver. When running: kwin --replace --graphicssystem raster & I get: OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL renderer string: GeForce FX 5200/AGP/SSE2 OpenGL version string: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 173.14.30 Driver: NVIDIA Driver version: 173.14.30 GPU class: NV30 OpenGL version: 2.1.2 X server version: 1.9.3 Linux kernel version: 2.6.37 Direct rendering: yes Requires strict binding: no GLSL shaders: no Texture NPOT support: no kwin(5056): Shaders are not supported kwin(5056): Shaders are not supported kwin(5056): Shaders are not supported kwin(5056): Shaders are not supported The problem remains Using XRender fixes this problem but it's slow and doesn't support many of the effects. > Texture NPOT support: no
ok that makes maybe sense. Hope we can fix it in 4.8
FTR: the gpu apparently has really no NPOT support (see attachment to bug #283367) Also, since i didn't realize that these are two indep. bugs: i tried breaking ("= false;") NPOT in git master and that didn't have any impact. The bugs are probably related, perhaps 283367 is a dupe. in reply to comment #3 and as a cross post to bug #383367 : I have a similar problem, but my window decorations are also wrong:

(In reply to comment #7) > I have a similar problem, but my window decorations are also wrong: I also have FX5200, and got the same problem. Please, tellme if there is any fixing this problem patches, to manually rebuild kwin with. Thank you! A fix for me was to NOT use Oxygen, but QTCurve and also use QTCurve as Gtk+ theme in KDE 4.7.3. Now I can use OpenGL without issues. Tried it with both Nouveau and NVIDIA173. Both okay, not NVIDIA 173 has much better performance, PARTICULARLY under Firefox. Off by "Window-Not-The-Window" shadows?
Can you do me a favor and try a RECENT Bespin (style & esp. decoration)
Ratio:
It uses the new shadows for decoration shadows as well as for popups, oxygen only for the latter.
If Bespin is ok you might actually encounter a different issue with similar visual outcome. Recent versions support different shadow sizes.
If you do, please try different sizes for active windows ("ie. the larger ones") so we can ensure you don't luckily picked one with 2^n dimensions.

Changes to the problem in 4.8 beta if I deselect oxygen windows shadows
I have added two additional attachments as the problem changed when I moved to 4.8 beta. Maybe interestingly, the problem changes if I deselect oxygen window drop-down shadow. Oxygen Desktop theme works, oxygen widget theme produces the broken shadows. QTcurve widget style works, but does not have dropdown shadows, probably hence why. All KDE 4.7.3 with NVIDIA FX GO 5300. @Ingo: Hmmm, but your screenshot to your original submission clearly hints an issue with the window decoration: http://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=64228 FYI: the "desktop theme" (ie. plasma desktop) has no impact on this, it's either kcmshell4 kwindecoration or kcmshell4 style So you suggest that selecting oxygen in "kcmshell4 kwindecoration" is ok, but only in "kcmshell4 style" causes issues? @nickpantazis: There's no actual change (but visually) - only the offets changed and that has another result. Makes me wonder whether you and Ingo really encounter different issues... @Thomas: Well, it would appear so. However, in the window decoration selection dialog kcmshell4 kwindecoration, some themes are already rendered wrong, namely "Oxygen by Sean Wilson" and "Air-Oxygen by Lionel Chauvin". So it would appear that the oxygen window decorations have somehow been fixed since 4.7.X and 4.7.3. I still use the same proprietary NVIDIA driver (again) 173, but the window decorations also now work with nouveau. Only difference is that nouveau supports V2 shaders whereas nvidia supports only 1.3. However, both DO NOT support NPOT. I switched back to nvidia for performance reasons: GLXGears produces 600 frames with nouveau and 2500 with nvidia. Also Firefox transparencies (particularly facebook) are shockingly slow with nouveau but fast with nvidia. When I started firefox running with nouveau in console, nouveau brought up some output relating to NPOT too, however I cannot recall exactly what it was. I cannot (and don't want to :-) ) reproduce since nouveau no longer installed. > namely "Oxygen by Sean Wilson" and "Air-Oxygen by Lionel Chauvin". Those are Aurorae themes - to rule out the theme file (cache) or the engine internal rendering is broken, please try the one that just says "oxygen" (no "by someone") and has a config dialog with a tabbar with four tabs and a lot of options (we maybe should patent the name ;-) > However, both DO NOT support NPOT. No, that's a GPU limitation. I am using the "Oxygen" theme right now and all renders fine as I said before. Only the other two as per my previous post do not render fine. Oxygen is okay with both "window glow" and "window dropdown shadow" enabled. I have by default power of two's as values, but tried 18 and 17 for size and even that renders okay. The thing that breaks menu shadows is when selecting the oxygen widget theme. That does not work. Thanks for the GPU limitation hint. ;-) In 4.7.97 the problem shown in attachment in comment #14 (the windows title) is not present anymore. The originally reported problem remains. anybody please look here. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=293325#c10 whoever can try a patch please raise his hands.
