I can give it a shot myself whenever there is time.
  
  
  It's a little bit hard(at least for me) to make good lookin shadows with 
gradients. For example, how would someone handle corners with gradients? Blur 
makes things much easier..
  
  So, yeah, could you please implement these softer shadows with gradients?

(this could also go in with the current shadows in fact, and would rather be a 
separate patch).
  
  It would be great to get help with plugins. I'm not familiar with KPlugin 
shenanigans

a shift of paradigm with respect to the original (subtle) breeze ideas. But 
that is not me to decide. Still: could you also post screenshots with the 
smaller sizes ? And then we can discuss what the default size should be.
  
  They're not final. Shadow params is an open question. Yes, I'll post them 
later.
  
  Also, could some of original Breeze authors review this too?

shadow strength. These are just implementation details. IMHO. And will make the 
code very hard to maintain. (how do you test that all combinations of settings 
look good ?)
  
  These shadows are softer than shadows in kstyle. So, single shadow strength 
option doesn't fit for both of them, it either
  
  - makes decoration shadows very light, and kstyle shadows normal
  - makes decoration shadows normal, and kstyle shadows really dark
  
  I'm still thinking about it, having two different shadow styles is not OK.
