The shadow was technically disabled against WindowServer bugs. I made a PR #27403 to add it back but here are some points to discuss.
I believe people would happy having the shadow back, but to be more specific, should the shadow always be visible? As mentioned in the PR, applying a shadow to a fully transparent window might look awkward. Compared to other GUIs, macOS window shadows are much heavier.
The Mac Terminal window always has a shadow. Setting its background color to 0% opacity still leaves a slight tint.
My opinion is that all
opaque
andblurred
windows should always have a shadow;transparent
windows should have a shadow if the background opacity is >= 25%.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
