Mine is - # started 7/3/14 to try to exclude the shadow # Shadow #shadow = false; no-dnd-shadow = true; no-dock-shadow = true; clear-shadow = true; shadow-blue = 1.0; #shadow-exclude = [ "name = 'Notification'", "class_g = 'Conky'", "class_g ?= 'Notify-osd'", "class_g = 'Plank'" ]; shadow-exclude = "n:e:Notification"; shadow-ignore-shaped = true; I still have the problem where I can't move between panes in tmux in the shadow, and there is no discernible difference anywhere else. But I'm hopeful that a solution will be found.
