Description: The drop shadows in 3.1 are great, but at 1600x1200 resolution, they were a little 'thin'. So I patched kdelibs/kdefx/kstyle.cpp to increase the depth of the shadow from 4 pixels to 8 pixels.
To apply the patch:
cd kdelibs/kdefx patch kstyle.cpp < kdelibs.kdefx.kstyle.cpp.patch recompile stop/start KDE
Voila!
This was done on FreeBSD. I hope it works for your platform. I can't see any reason why it shouldn't.
Ehmm...how do i install this patch...? i can't locate the kdelib directory and kstyle.cpp.....sory...im still new in this linux area....hope u can help me!
Ehm, how do I enable "standard" drop shadow in my kde3.1? I thought it was into 3.2... I must have missed something... but I can't find anything related to drop shadows in my kcontrol... Please help this tormented soul =)
couldn't you patch it so that the shadow is proportional to screen-size, rather than using fixed values?
Moreover, you could address this issue to the guys at kde, so that the might include your patch into kde cvs.

Go to style in KControl. Then click on the other tabs at the top. It's in there, same as translucency for menus. Do you know where that is?

Ignore the previous hint, I missed the semicolons: - "<" ==> "<" - ">" ==> >" Daniele

Now all we need is rpms. Cause I ain't gonna recompile.
