Let me illustrate the problem I have with the current shadows. Imagine this situation: - Not a single window on a background to just look pretty, but a multitude of windows scattered all around to do actual work. - Window switching by focus-follows-mouse, i.e. a workflow with a lot of overlapping and cascaded windows. Here it is very important from a usability standpoint to tell the windows apart and to get a sense of depth. Do you know which window is in the front in the following screenshot? I cannot tell: F5429808: left.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F5429808> Here it is much easier: F5429810: right.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F5429810> And here is the full screenshot: F5429813: full.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F5429813> I think Plasma should support a diverse set of workflows, currently I do not feel it is optimal in every case.
