I know. The shape of the shadow is still the same, but it is less intense.
That's what my goal was, nothing more. I leave the "real" stuff to people who 
know their trade. :)

Good hint. I didn't evens think about it like that.
I CC'ed him.
@Robert:
There were some voices about the shadows in the classic tile theme.
See http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-games-devel&m=123365786509128&w=4
As I considered them a bit too dark, I lightened them up a bit.
So, what's your opinion about the shadows (old ones as well)?

BTW: When I changes the shadows, I noticed that I also had to modify one of 
the lower tle's shadows manually while the other three were changed 
automatically. No Idea what's that about.
