how to remove drop shadow border

so I wanted to tweak the battery icon to show the percent left a bit bigger, so I can see it.

I’ve managed this but can’t get rid of the border, which I think is a drop shadow effect, or maybe an svg?

my lightly tweaked code is here

deepseek can’t do it.

The shadow comes from the /usr/lib/qt6/qml/org/kde/plasma/workspace/components/BadgeOverlay.qml component, you will need to remove it there.

              opacity: 0.9
          
              PlasmaComponents3.Label {
                  id: label
                  anchors.centerIn: parent
                  font.pixelSize: Math.max(root.icon.height / 4, Kirigami.Theme.smallFont.pixelSize * 0.8)
                  textFormat: Text.PlainText
              }
          
              layer.enabled: true
              layer.effect: DropShadow {
                  horizontalOffset: 0
                  verticalOffset: 0
                  radius: 2
                  samples: radius * 2
                  color: Qt.rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)
              }
          }
