[Bug 1606369] Re: Compiz ‘Thumbnail Window Previews’ artefacts (further fix +)

 

** Description changed:

- Further fix, and recommendation:

- There's two ways to fix this.
  
- # Method 1:
+ # Fix
  org.compiz.profiles.mate.plugins.decor
  
  - active-shadow-x-offset 6
+ + active-shadow-x-offset 2
+ 
  - active-shadow-y-offset 6
+ + active-shadow-y-offset 2
+ 
  - inactive-shadow-x-offset 6

+ 
  - inactive-shadow-y-offset 6
- 
- + active-shadow-x-offset 2
- + active-shadow-y-offset 2
- + inactive-shadow-x-offset 2
  + inactive-shadow-y-offset 2
  
- # This method benefits all Compiz windows as shadows become more
- proportionally balanced, current setting creates larger offset shadows
- with seemingly no shadow visible top + left.
+ # This fix also benefits all Compiz windows, as shadows become more
+ proportionally balanced.

+ # Recommendation
+ With current settings, thumbnails occupy almost half the screen vertically on a Netbook (1024x600 resolution).
