move to kdecoration shadows breaks shadow consistency with csd apps
Kdecorations are not applied to CSD apps (namly gtk apps, firefox or chrome browsers without native titlebar enabled)
Before the move to use the shadow from the window decoration all these apps could be configured to have exactly same outline and shadow behavior which was main reason to install this extension.
Is it possible to force decoration shadows (without the decoration) in a kwin effect for any app? that way one could manually disable all box-shadows and window margins for gtk apps and just use that.
For some apps a potential workaround is to enforce a titlebar with kwin-effects and then remove the titlebar in the kdecoration (only Breeze and Klassy allow this) but it doesnt work for many apps as the enforced titlebar does not show up or the titlebar remove rule cannot be specified as detailed as the window rule.
I guess I can add a checkbox for the user to use the native shadow or not.

Doesn't seem to work for any of the Electron apps for me at least :(
with kwin-effects i meant window rules. u need set the rule "No titlebar and border" to "No" and "Enforce". This works only in Xorg though but it lets u remove that titlebar again in the breeze or klassy window decoration that way u get SSD shadows.

Yes pls. breeze and klassy shadows look rly bad with square conrners this effect fixed that
Still wondering if anyone can make a kwin-effect that does the afformentioned workaround in one go to just enforce shadows no matter the decoration... that would help aton with all the apps that dont draw shadows
@Wi11iam-1 @mufeedali Can you please test the pull request #353 for me?
I've tested that and it works in general:
But it looks very different on gtk/libadwaita apps:
