I don’t get it. Why each application would want to draw their own shadow independently of any other? It is obvious to me that no such thing should be done by the app, but the window manager or compositor should be doing this. Otherwise we will end up with a mess, duplication of code, each window different shadow?

We had shadows in KDE 3.5 in 2008! We did not have stable drivers for that back then though… we still don’t…
KDE 3.5 + compiz was the pinnacle of floating windows DE! :D
