Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
The only setting in the window decoration plugin that can be adjusted is the color. There appears no way to change anything else concerning shadows inc. not using them or at the very least reducing to a min.
The current default shadow effect looks quite 'messy' and unprofessional

I'm marking this as invalid for the moment - after several trips to ccsm and restarts suddenly the shadowing went back to what was expected. May have been some anomaly after the update that caused the effect to be excessive
