I always make Breeze shadows as huge as possible to try to emulate this. Programmer-types like us often underestimate just how hard it is for many people so know which window is in the active one. Anything we can do ti make it more obvious, without becoming garish, IMHO is worth it.
  
  
  Indeed, in fact, what I was meaning to achieve was exactly that effect. I like centered, big shadows, that allow me to differenciate widndows with small (or non-existant) borders easily while still being smooth. The proposed compromise may seem like a good idea, but the fact that the shadow is not horizontally balanced is, although subtle, still noticed, and gives me that "something is not right" feeling that's hard to shake off.
