Intellij menus no shadow
Gnome mutter is able to draw correctly shadow in all those cases giving a more consistent desktop experience. Client-side decorated windows (Google Chrome and practically every electron app) must draw drop-shadows on their own. Please report this issue to Google Chrome developers. Same goes to Intellij IDEA. It needs to draw drop-shadows for popups on its own or provide shadow tiles via our proprietary protocols [1] [2]. [1] https://community.kde.org/KWin/Shadow [2] https://invent.kde.org/libraries/plasma-wayland-protocols/-/blob/master/src/protocols/shadow.xml Ok but as a workaround would be possible to provide a drop shadow effect (like the one before plasma 4.6) to provide shadows for all the applications which dont draw drop-shadows on their own? If is in theory possible a would like to try to implement one on myself. Where i can find some documentation to start? You could fork the old shadow effect https://github.com/KDE/kde-workspace/tree/KDE/4.6/kwin/effects/shadow If you'd like to have an example of an out of source tree effect, see https://github.com/zzag/kwin-effects-sliding-notifications I hope this helps.

Chrome with _KDE_NET_WM_SHADOW
Hi tank you for the link i will do some test immediately. By the way i tried to manually add _KDE_NET_WM_SHADOW to google Chrome: xprop -id 0x4600005 -f _KDE_NET_WM_SHADOW 32c -set _KDE_NET_WM_SHADOW 35651649,35651659,35651660,35651661,35651662,35651663,35651664,35651665,8,8,1,8 copying the id of the pixmaps and the offsets from the plasma panel and it works. |
