Hi there fellas! How would you feel about dropping the dropshadow for the document canvas border? It's visually distracting for small icons. While I'd like to have a very light outline to see where the edge is, I don't like the border taking too much attention away from the actual artwork and that's what happens thanks to its non-symmetric look.
cheers
I understand this makes sense for drawing icons, but it doesn't for creating flyers or posters (let it only be drafts). As for now you cannot drop just the shadow in the document properties, only the whole frame. That means shadow and frame should be independent from one each other and I'll agree. If they aren't, removing the shadow will leave you with no way to reenvoke it -- and I want my shadow :)
No, you can change the offset of the shadow to 0 (zero) so that there is no shadow, in the preferences xml. I just added this preference to my inkscape preferences GUI and I'll commit it here b4 the end of the day. I used to shut this off and previously had been overruled on removing the shadow. I personally find it annoying, but others might like it...
