Completely different one and in the different place of kcontrol. In the same time
the old dialog does not diasappear when applying this patch which results in showing
non-functional dialog.
If your system does not have the dialog shown on the screenshot, in the same location,
this means possibly that Trinity has been branched from an earlier release of
KDE3 which still had no shadows.
No. These
shadows are not those present in TDE. TDE currently uses the
shadows introduced
by the cited above Chakra patch. The shadows on this screenshot are the
original kwin shadows.
While they are original, they are in fact handled by kompmgr. :-) There
are also non-composited shadows that originally came with KDE 3.5.10 as
well, and those are glitchy.
The checkbox in your screenshot is not very accurate. In TDE it has been
changed to read ""Enable the Trinity window composition manager" instead
of "Use Translucency/Shadows", and if you dig around in the KDE 3.5.10
code a bit you will see what I mean. kompmgr's shadows (which incidentally are
configured using the exact same
kcontrol module with the same general options) work almost 100% on the TDE
system that I am writing this from...
Does this make things a bit clearer?
