De Drop Shadow
Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
I'm using kdes' composite manager from kde 3.3 with xorg 6.8. One of the annoying things using drop shadows is applications like Super Karamba themes, dockers like KXDockers are giving wierd shadows with current composite manager. So I wrote this simple scipt to remove drop shadows from what ever the kde apps that does not fit to drop shadows.
Usage:
1. Execute the script (either double clicking or in command line).
2. When the cursot pointer become crossed, click on the application that you want to remove drop shadow.
(Special thanks to Thomas, author of Baghira theme for his hints on this)
BTW: If you want to know about my desktop setup refer: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=23535
PLEASE don't ask me for my Amarok super karamba theme...unless you are sure that Apple will not sue me...:-)

I found that I have to click on each superkaramba window for this to work.
Here is my modification to make it de drop shadow all superkaramba themes/windows
Tell me if it works.
(script follows .. put 7 whitespaces before the [^d] because the comment box removes duplicate whitespaces. I marked it in bold)
#!/bin/bash
# deshadowsuperkaramba.sh
ITEMS=`xwininfo -root -tree -int |grep " [^d]* \"superkaramba\""|cut -c 12-19`
for item in $ITEMS
do
dcop kwin default setUnshadowed $item
done
exit 0

dcop kwin default setUnshadowed `xwininfo -int -name kxdocker | grep \
"xwininfo: Window id:" | cut -c 22-29`
I start it this way via autostart with a 10 seconds delay before execution to make sure kxdocker is already loaded.

run the following at the command line:
1. chmod +x scriptname
2. ./scriptname &
3. click on window you want to remove the shadow from.
The script works with kompmanager which is really just xcompmanager with a few kde mods.
Hope this helps.
