Description:

This is the Acqua window decoration, modified to draw drop-shadows behind the windows, configure rounded corners, and put the application icon in the title bar. �It also does Mac OS X style shadows, thanks to the alpha-tables by noonespecial:
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=4922

(Other credits in the README file)

There are still some rendering bugs which can't really be fixed until both X and QT fully support alpha-blending.

There is a Mandrake 9.x RPM here:
http://www.davidsansome.com/aquaosk-2.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
This should work on other modern distros as well.

Changelog:

Lots of changes since the last release:
* Shadows can be drawn behind ALL windows
* Shadows redraw properly (ie. no shadows over kicker)
* Configurable buttons
* Configurable borders
* All l3m's changes (and others)
* Various bug fixes

The next release (out in a few days) will let mouse clicks pass through the shadows - I havn't had time to do that today, but it's pretty easy ;-)

Hello

great work! But the shadow entends the mouse sensible area of the window, so when you click just a bit out of the window border the click is still captured by the active window. This means that is not possible to raise a window under the active one just clicking out of the window. Check it to better understand the problem.

we know. We know it's buggy, it doesn't really work and it's crapware. This is just a _fake_; a dirty hack, a programmer's nightmare.

And it will NOT work, unless QT supports alphablending. The Real Alphablending (tm).

If and when qt supports the needed features we will kick our asses to get the real shadow in.

So it's a fake the kde 3.1 menu shadow features also? It isn't made by QT?

it's a fake. If you don't take my word, try to view an avi file, and select a menu on top of that window, you'll see how the shadows are not in sync with the video.

The original graft of shadow code was just a rip off the kde menu shadow code. .

Is this a bug or a feature? Did anybody else observe this? When using Mac OsX style drop shadows, the active window gets a two pixel thick dark gray line approximately 16 to 20 pixel below its bottom border. Otherwise, the drop shadow looks as in the screenshot. I use KDE 3.1.0 installed on my SuSE 7.3 from the original SuSE rpm packages and compiled your KWinAcqua+DropSchadows myself.

I have just installed the 2.0 version. I have enabled shadows on all windows, however, this creates a bug on minimized windows - in that they leave their shadow behind, and it seems to be impossible to get rid of them without closing that application. If shadow is only set to the top window, there is no such problem. Hope this is fixable, and not a shortcoming of kde/qt.

Thanks for the great work so far!

I've just tryed the 2.0 version but it seem tu block my X system; also the refresh is worse then the old. I have a Mandrake 9.0 with KDE3.1 recompiled. I will try later, but for now I prefer the old version.

Thanks anyway.

"* Shadows redraw properly (ie. no shadows over kicker)"

Well, not if your kicker is set to autohide.
