Hi all,

I have been gathering some ideas about how to do window shadows better in a 
composited window manager and how to give control of the shadows to the widget 
style. I wrote down my current ideas for (undecorated) windows in [1]. The 
approach can easily be extended to support decorated windows (active and 
inactive state).

Please all have a look at it and provide some feedback. Feel free to 
change/extend it to whatever you think. The idea is mostly based on 
discussions with Hugo (Oxygen) with some ideas coming from a discussion with 
Thomas (Bespin), but I would also love to have feedback from other widget 
style developers like Christoph and Craig.

Furthermore if you look at the proposal you will see some _KDE_NET_WM hints. 
So I want to have this "upstreamed" after it is implemented. That's why I cc-
ed Sam to get some early feedback from the cross-wm front ;-) Does the 
approach work for Compiz as well and does it make sense to go the way through 
EWMH?

Thanks to all making Shadows in 4.7 rock :-D

Cheers
Martin
