X11 or Wayland? Can reproduce on Wayland. If it's Wayland-only, then it's probably a KWin issue.
Comment 2 contact 2021-10-21 13:05:22 UTC 
I'm still on X11, so not Wayland-specific.

Comment 4 contact 2021-10-22 09:03:18 UTC 
Are you this is a duplicate? I like when shadows are present on the screenshots, however, in the case of maximized windows, there are no shadows and Spectacle shouldn't include a completely transparent border around the window just like it did before.
Comment 5 Zamundaaa 2021-10-22 09:30:52 UTC 
If you have a look at multi-monitor systems, there definitely is a shadow on maximized windows. The other bug is about providing an option for whether or not to include shadows, seems fitting to me. We just need to expose the option for maximized and un-maximized separately.
Comment 6 contact 2021-10-22 09:39:46 UTC 
I have a multi-monitor system, and I can't see any shadow around maximized window. And even if there were, it would be a bug, since that shadow would be distracting.
