Windows shadows crash (black issue graphic) if i use other windows decoration theme (not default theme), i try disable every efect and the problem not solve. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Change the windows decorations theme. 2. Active opengl 2/3 for compositing and shadow windows. 3. Try open some kde applications like kate or Filelight. Actual Results: The windows shadows crash and look huge black rectangle around windows.
That frankly looks like a bug in the specific theme. The top elements seem invalid and the lower right section is junk as well. I'd contact the author of the theme to have him seek to fix it.
could you please attach a screenshot? Also please provide the output of: qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation
The (not so great) screenshot is linked as url
