<p>Having the shadow falling at the bottom right feels more natural to me. I also like the sharper edge at the left. Makes the overall look of the desktop a little cleaner.<br />
Actually, the clean look of breeze was the main reason why I finally switched to Linux. I tried Gnome and KDE4 before and was not satisfied by the overall look and feel, so I stayed with MS Windows. Breeze changed this.</p>
<p>In my opinion, a decent shadow at the bottom right is enough to seperate application windows from each other.</p>
<p>I however can understand that this is depending on personal preference. And by this I am against centering the shadow without an option.<br />
Either do this optionally (we already have several options here, another one won't hurt that much), or slightly reduce the offset like Michail proposed.</p>

<p>Totally aggree. If the falling shadow was a concious choice, then the reasons for this decision should be discussed here. Are they documented somewhere?</p>

<p>I think you might underestimate the impact of this change. The overall feel of the system will change with this.<br />
Also, I am not sure if it is really that complex to have an option for centering the shadows.</p>

<p>Definitely. And thus it would be great if we could find some reasons why</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R31 Breeze</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D8232" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D8232</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>rpelorosso, Breeze, VDG, hpereiradacosta<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>progwolff, mvourlakos, rkflx, ngraham, davidedmundson, mart, plasma-devel, ZrenBot, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol<br /></div>
