What are the default shadow values for GNOME?

[flexagoon]

I like this extension, but I want the shadows on all of my windows to be the same, which is not the case when I install this. What values should I set in shadow settings to make rounded window shadows exactly the same as normal window shadows?

Seems it can be found in GTK project, I'm not sure yet:

I think the libadwaita shadow is three (?) Box shadows layered to create a more complex depth effect, adw-gtk3 has a simplified version for performance but I think it's still two shadows, so currently the same shadow can't be recreated but something similar can probably be passable taking an approximate average of the default shadows?

Yes, libadwaita / adw-gtk use multi shadow to draw windows shadow. Unfortunately, the shadow style of rounded corners window only support apply one shadow in box-shadow css property.

Actually the shadow for rounded corners window is just a St.Bin actor with a single box-shadow css property which insert below window. Though we can apply css to Clutter.Actor by St library, it still not support apply multi shadow in box-shadow.

So we only can got a similar result to default Adwaita theme.

These settings are not a million miles away from the default, based on some eyeballing and the liadwaita css. Unfocused 0.00, 3, 12, 4, 19 Focused 0.00, 3, 13, 4, 39
