Shadows do not appear about wayfire-shadows HOT 4 CLOSED

You can test it using one of the configs in the testconfig folder with wayfire --config ....

Check the output for errors and whether the plugin was found correctly.

Edit: If I remember correctly there was something wrong with the signals after an update in wayfire and I have a partial fix for the issue that I haven't pushed yet. In the meantime try enabling the option to include undecorated/csd views.

Hello again, what ended up happening is when I built using meson, I needed to use the

--prefix=/usr

option to make sure it went into my /usr/lib/wayfire plugin folder, got it working.

There is another problem though, for some applications like kitty (terminal emulator), the shadows only apply once the window is moved. for others like firefox, the shadows never appear. Any idea why?

Ah yes, that was the signal issue that I meant, see the edit above. I don't remember the details but I had a discussion about it on the wayfire IRC a month ago and haven't worked on it since then.

That seemed to fix everything, I'll keep an eye out for future updates as well. Thanks so much!
