--- Comment #16 from Adam Fontenot <adam.m.fontenot+...@gmail.com> --- > the inability to tell where a window ended and the panel began This is an extremely limited issue though, it only happens in rare circumstances. In particular it doesn't affect the window decoration itself so long as the colors are set correctly (as I think Breeze does). If there is an accessibility issue to address, I think it should be addressed with a solution that implements good visual design choices, not relying on the ugly effect of panels casting a shadow on adjacent windows. I can think of a number of (mostly complementary) options: 1. Make panels have a different color than the Breeze theme background color for windows. (This should already be true by default, IIRC?) 2. Give panels a 1 px border on the outside edge. (This exact solution was used to solve the "distinguishing between windows" accessibility problem.) 3. Snap windows the <outline border width> (from the window decorations) away from the panel, instead of directly adjacent to the panel, so the already-existing outline would serve to help distinguish between the window and the panel. 4. Use a slight gradient by default on the panel background. Or we could go with a workaround like: 5. Make this toggleable, just like the outline strength feature was made toggleable. Personally I like the idea of (3) because it reuses a window-distinguishing feature we already have. I think it would probably look nice, although I haven't made a mockup. Can we discuss options that would result in better visual design, rather than closing this because of one relatively rare issue? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
