Was this added in Trinity 3.5.11/12? Otherwise I'm confused why this does not happen in KDE.
If this is a Trinity mod then I'll submit a bug report to add a config option to restore the original behavior.
The shadow is present to improve legibility with the transparent panel. My suggestion would be to add a separate radio button configuration option to control the shadow with options enable/disable/auto.

The problem is caused by enabling Transparency in the
Panel configuration:
Appearance, Panel Background, Enable Transparency.
When Transparency is enabled, the clock font then
displays with an
outline/shadow.
This does not happen in KDE. I can toggle Transparency
in either mode in
KDE and the clock font remains normal.
Seems like a bug, but I'd like confirmation before
filing a report in the
bugzilla.
Additional info:
When I enable the date and day of week, that part
of the
clock display does not contain a shadow or
outline. Only the
time portion of the display.
I can toggle between Trinity and KDE and the
outline/shadow
appears only in Trinity.
I installed the Trinity packages on a system where KDE 3.5.10 was installed. 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.
