Just a guess here, as I did not look into this in detail myself yet, but would the new regex-plugin together with the window-matching be applicable on the decorator to exclude the panels from getting a drop-shadow?

Best regards...

Apply this patch.

http://hibbert.univ-lille3.fr/~cbellegarde/Compiz/decor.schema

Add this schema

And put "type=dock" in nodecor_match.

I have some question on this code, i will send this to David when i will be happy with it ;)

[brt]

thx alot for your reply!

i am using gandalf's binaries so there seems to be no such plugin so far, i just thought that such a feature already exists and i missed it...

if i have time i'll try to compile and maybe use your patch :)

[gnumdk]

It has been send upstream.

[brt]

wow !

i can't wait to have it in gandalfs binaries :)

This change has introduced the decoration_match option to git:
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/app/compiz.git;a=commit;h=b19e6b60285ff508883cd6eb2065 37aaa8b86517

However, I can't get it to disable shadows for the panels.
Something along "!role=dock" doesn't work.

Anyone got it working?

Shouldn't it be !type=dock or !class=kicker

[gnumdk]

Code is buggy, looking at this...

[gnumdk]

Here is a patch:
http://hibbert.univ-lille3.fr/~cbellegarde/Compiz/dock_shadow.patch

Put this to work:
!type=dock | any

[FunkyM]

Thanks! This indeed fixes it, however introduces a new "feature".
Using "decoration_match = any" draws decorations around the docks (gnome-panel gets decorations here).

While it is logically correct, I think the desired functionality is to default to just shadow drawing for docks.

EDIT: A "shadow_match = !type=dock" option was added to git now and works as advertised.

[gnumdk]

Yes, i haven't tested with "any".

David fix it :)

bumping this thread..
Im having a problem with shadow_match. well, its not responding to any of my inputs. decoration_match works fine; shadow_match, on the other hand, ignores its key values.
I have !class=Gnome-terminal as a sample and needless to say, gnome terminals still get shadows.
I don't know if it matters but, I had to manually add decoration_match and shadow_match keys under decoration/allscreens in gconf because compiz install didn't add them automatically.
Have y'all any ideas?

I don't see this option anywhere in gconf. Are the schemas out of date?

Using 0.5 btw.

I guess it is. The are functions there though, at least according to the mailing list and the fact that decoration_match works.
ini plugin produces these options though. i opt to using gconf because ini gives me problems.

You know what they say... 'A problem shared is a bug fixed' :)

So is there a way to get updated schemas?? because I don't find those keys either

I have just updated git with the new schemas so if you update they should be there.
