How can I change the window shadow size for windows in the gnome shell?

I'm trying the shell out and I like it so far. I know it uses mutter rather than compiz so there's no ccsm that I'm used to.

But I understand you can configure almost everything within /usr/share/gnome-shell via css and js. Awesome

Anybody know where the window shadow line is?

gnome

  1. You can only edit the Shell theme via /usr/share/gnome-shell, not the windows. As far as I know, you must edit the mutter source code, and this might become quite difficult if you don't know programming.

  2. (Not tested)

    Edit the theme manually by adding the following to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css:

    .window-frame {box-shadow: 0px 0px 20px black;}

    Use values to suit :)
