I have some apps like Steam or single games windows set to disable compositor when they run. This works pretty good. The only small issue is that when i close such app, compositor is restored but panel shadow is missing. To bring it back i have to toggle desktop effects ALT + SHIFT + F12. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure some app to disable compositor when running. 2. Run app 3. Close app Actual Results: Panel shadow is missing after compositor was restored. Expected Results: Panel shadow should be rendered after compositor ws enabled again.
I have the same issue and use the same workaround. Also running KDE Neon Dev. Stable, Plasma 5.8.1.
Can't confirm - shadow is restoring in: Distribution: KDE neon Developer Edition - Stable Branches Plasma: 5.11.3 Frameworks: 5.41.0 Qt: 5.9.2 Kernel 4.10.0-40-generic Type: 64-bit
There's been a few commits since 5.8. Please reopen if you still have this on 5.10 or newer.
