Yup, I discovered that workaround. :) Or vice-versa, change the Transparency Tint color to
that of the clock font.
Also, don't use Transparency, which is why some user accounts saw the problem and some
did not. Not all accounts use Transparency.
All doable, but chintzy. :)
I'll file a bug report to restore the original KDE behavior with a configuration
option.
right click on the clock, choose
configure clock, you can match the
colour of the
shadow to the background and it will eliminate the shadow.
If you have any questions please feel free to post again or
email me.
Good luck,
Kate

I installed the Trinity packages on a system

I was careful to first manually remove the KDE
packages before installing
the Trinity packages.
I did not delete any user KDE profiles (~/.kde).
User accounts have the clock configured in the
kicker/panel as Plain Clock
(text) using the format H:MM a/pm. Font style is
Regular.
With some user accounts, the clock font seems to use a
shadow or outline.
Yet other accounts the font text looks the same
as in
KDE 3.5.10 with no
shadow or outline.
Shadowing is not enabled in the Desktop configuration
options.
While not running Trinity, I deleted the clock config
file from
~/.kde/share/config. Deleting the file did not
eliminate the shadow/outline.
Any ideas what might be causing this behavior?
Thanks.
