Indeed doesn't seem to work, but "User Shadows" does. Not sure about feature parity, though: https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/extensions/view/88

Please update it! It's too old current versions doesn't supports it! Please

Can you please update this extension? I NEED to change the window border shadow radius, but aside from having a tweak to edit Gnome based apps, many other windows look at mutter for it's shadow and it seems it is impossible to get a good shadow with messing around with a theme. Your extension seems to be the only one that was able to change the shadow. Please update it so I can use your extension to modify shadow radius! For example, I like my shadows to be like this: https://imgur.com/a/KichKSV

I like this extension .... is it now compatible with LM 19.2 and the corresponding Cinnamon version ?

Linux Mint 19.2 is now in beta and it features Cinnamon 4.2.2. This extension is not compatible with it. Could you please update it for compatibility with Cinnamon 4.x?

It's a shame this extension seems not to work at all with Cinnamon 4.0.

Hello Mikhail-Ekzi, thanks for the great extension. It runs fine. I searched for it. But I have "gedit" installed and that has a shadow :( Can you please do something there?
