I don't entirely disable shadows, but I make them much more subtle. The original shadows in OS X are horribly off-putting and far too extreme.

I am not sure if I meant "Yes" or "No"!
If "Yes" means: MacOS X with shadows please!
and "No": MacOS X without shadows please!
then my vote "Yes" was correct!

I'm kind of in the middle of these too alternatives. I made my shadows a lot more subtle than the default ones.

yep, i do use shadows.
i did try it without shadz, but it was just too much hof a stark contrast, actually not enough definition between the windows.
but i do think that they could be turned down a bit... might try that.

without the shadows there is no illusion of depth which is vital to the often borderless windows environment of OS X. i can understand people customizing shadow settings to their particular taste, but turning them off completely raises some major usability issues.

Yeah, I tone them down quite a bit, but I love them. OS X looks like crap without them.

Yes. Aqua just doesn't look right without them. The way they they are now I like them, subtle but very nice looking. I think in 10.0 they used to be bigger?

i disable them at bootup, i get a little speed boost, too.
Sure, OS-X needs them, bc. of no windowborder, which is a shame.
I'm testing windowshade-x right now, which can draw a windowborder. That solves the depth problem for me.
Now, I'm having lean UI, shadows are needed when an UI is not capable of delivering a crystalclear visual appearance. An UI that needs shadows to function is weak.
