All the unmaximised windows on elementary OS have a shadow around them.
This causes issues with me taking screenshots. How can I disable the shadow when it isn't maximised?

There's no straightforward way to do that, that I know of. Shadows are drawn by the toolkit (Gtk+). You can edit your system stylesheet (located at /usr/share/themes/elementary/gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets.css) and remove the box-shadow from all window-frame classes. But be aware that the box shadow property also effects the inner shadow i.e. highlighting.

@Tim Those only effect the legacy server-side decorations. Most new apps will be using client-side decorations Commented Jul 3, 2015 at 18:08
