D8232: Add option to center shadow

[Henrik Fehlauer]

rkflx added a comment.


  Let me illustrate the problem I have with the current shadows. Imagine this situation:
  
  - Not a single window on a background to just look pretty, but a multitude of windows scattered all around to do actual work.
  - Window switching by focus-follows-mouse, i.e. a workflow with a lot of overlapping and cascaded windows.
  
  Here it is very important from a usability standpoint to tell the windows apart and to get a sense of depth.
  
  Do you know which window is in the front in the following screenshot? I cannot tell:

  Here it is much easier:
  
  F5429810: right.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F5429810>
  
  And here is the full screenshot:

  I think Plasma should support a diverse set of workflows, currently I do not feel it is optimal in every case.
