Bug ID: 486940
Summary: PlasmaShell shouldn't override all decorations.
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.0.4
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: decorations
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: 4wy78...@rokejulianlockhart.addy.io
Blocks: 476996, 477169
Target Milestone: ---
Flags: performance+, Wayland+, X11+
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.
