FAQ

• Can I change the color of the shadow?

No. The APIs required to do that are not exposed to cinnamon extensions.

• The shadow of some windows is not modified, what to do?

This extension only applies to windows rendered by the cinnamon window manager (a.k.a. Muffin). It is likely that you are dealing with Gtk CSD windows, whose shadow is defined by the Gtk theme you are using.
