--- Comment #10 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Thanks, that's helpful. I've discovered that we do in fact have special code to
try to make the shadows smaller when the background is light.

However its definition of "when background is light" is rather faulty; we
simply look at the lightness or darkness of the default text color, rather than
the actual background image itself. This seems wrong, and it's why the shadows
change for you when you switch between color schemes or plasma themes but the
background remains the same.

But even if we fixed that, I am somewhat unconvinced that this code is needed
at all. If the actual background image is light, making the shadows smaller
could reduce readability. This code seems like a solution in search of a
problem, and I will propose removing it.
