We can't do only a shadow for the avatar since it gives a shadow to the outline of the icon and not the shader effect, which looks bad. If we add a shadow behind the avatar (which I would be open to), the circle background I've added is mandatory. For the buttons, it's a bit better, but I don't think //just// shadows behind the current icons will be enough: F6315209: Drop shadows behind original icons, default background.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F6315209> F6315210: Drop shadows behind original icons, challenging background.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F6315210> Shadows behind the new circle-background icons do work pretty well though, and improve the contrast to good levels.: F6315212: Drop shadows behind round icons, default background.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F6315212> F6315214: Drop shadows behind round icons, challenging background.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F6315214> Maybe that reveals that the icons' translucent background should be less translucent, or even opaque, and then we wouldn't need a shadow for them.
