could you please select the version which you are using as Aurorae changed rather a lot lately. Afaics it's the same in git master (just tried enabling that for some deco - caching issue or not QML implemeted at all?) TextShadow is implemented but using the options provided by QML which do not visually fit the old custom implementation. Halo is I think currently gone - at least none of the QML-ified Plasmoids have it. I guess it should be possible to reimplement it with QtQuick 2. So, is it possible to have text shadows for aurorae theme in KDE 4.10? Any developments on this? I'm seeing this bug under KDE 4.11 currently, and was just wondering if Aurorae (or QML Window Decorator now?) was still being supported. (In reply to comment #5) > Any developments on this?

In 4.11 we still use QtQuick 1, only on master (going towards "5") QtQuick 2 is used. Though this specific feature is not yet implemented. Thanks for the info. Subscribing and I guess bumping this. I forked and maintain a few Aurorae themes, and noticed that the text shadow options aren't working although most themes have them. I found this and it explains the problem. Right, as we now use QtQuick 2 it would be possible to add shadows back. No promise yet whether I find time to look into it. If someone else wants to look into this, it would be highly appreciated :-) Good to know! Also, since one of the devs replied, please allow me to mention a related issue I recently reported (also about the titlebar text color) so perhaps you can take a look at both: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=345007 Kwin's text halo effect is broken and doesn't render even when enabled in themerc. Here's what the effect is supposed to look like https://store.kde.org/p/1002683/ and in modern releases the text halo doesn't appear and instead you just get text on a transparent background. This creates problems with legacy theme or even maybe some newer themes that wish to have a transparent titlebar and not sacrifice on title quality. This bug is reproducible by the following the instructions in the above posts. This is still broken as of plasma 6.1 Still broken as of Plasma 6.3.4. Created attachment 181363 [details]

Still broken as of 6.3.90 (6.4 beta). Here's a usability problem with the lack of a text shadow: Any theme that has transparent window decorations (for example I am using the Se7en Aero global theme), the Title Bar's text can overlap with the background of other windows, haveing a shadow that is another colour can fix this. This Is also a problem when the user has the 'Blur' window effect active, again the text shadow would make it much easier to read the text.
