Can I turn off shadowing just for one type of shape?

I am familiar with skimparam shadowing false, and it is working fine for the whole diagram.

However, is it possible to turn off shadowing just for one type of shape? e.g. Actor in component diagram?

while other shapes e.g. package, node etc. still produce shadowing in the same diagram.

You cannot in the official release, but this is a good suggestion!

We have implemented this in last beta https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13064071/plantuml.jar

@startuml
skinparam actor {
  bordercolor blue
  shadowing false
}

skinparam databaseShadowing true

actor actor1
component compo1
database data1
@enduml

Is this what you are expecting ?

Thanks again for the idea!
