    Engine Plugin
    This product contains a code plugin, complete with pre-built binaries and all its source code that integrates with Unreal Engine, which can be installed to an engine version of your choice then enabled on a per-project basis.
  • Unreal has redrawn all the Windows's window elements, but they did not add window shadows. When you want to set the entire editor to a flat design style, shadows can help distinguish different windows effectively.
  • This plugin has hacked their implementation to bring back the system window shadows while removing their rounded corners. Additionally, it speeds up the response time when opening windows.
