SUMMARY Plasma Shell shouldn't be granted special permission to render its own window decorations, in direct contrast to user preferences. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Invoke "`kcmshell6 kcm_kwindecoration`" 2. Select "Breeze" 3. Select "Edit" 4. Select "Shadows and Outline" 5. Modify the "Shadow size" and/or "Outline intensity". OBSERVED RESULT *Custom* window shadows render which differ from those of the windows, which to me looks incredibly weird on the plasmoid windows. Additionally, the new 1-pixel border on the windows doesn't render whatsoever, meaning that if a user with impaired visibility wants to use PlasmaShell, they have to contend with the fact that it's difficult to differentiate from windows which adhere to the system theme due to its lack of a darker shadow (should the user have chosen such) and window border. EXPECTED RESULT It should render the same as all other windows. If that's undesirable, then an accessibility option defaulting to disabled should permit this functionality. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 40 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0 Kernel Version: 6.8.9-300.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core Processor Memory: 30.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 5700 Manufacturer: ASRock Product Name: X670E Taichi ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This issue primarily consists to consolidate those it blocks under a conherent issue. If the response of INTENTIONAl is the same, then don't worry about needing to fight with me - just close the issue. However, I'd like some responses on the other issues if possible.

It's not doable, plasma provides it's own themes and it was decided that includes it's own shadows. They can still be customised, but it's a separate mechanism.
(In reply to David Edmundson from comment #2) With Union, might this become feasible?
