Cinnamon - Strange Shadowing on Clock/Menu/Programs in taskbar

Cinnamon is giving me these odd black "text shadows" under its menu bar, the clock, and the "program bars" that appear on the bottom panel/taskbar. It's not affecting performance, but it is very annoying. Is there a way to make them go away? I haven't found a good answer thus far. I'm currently running arch as a virtualbox guest, if that helps.

Maybe supply a screenshot?

I think it might be compositing drop shadows?

You should be able to modify the .css of the theme you're using.  If you're suing the default cinnamon theme you can find the cinnamon.css in /usr/share/cinnamon/theme

If you don't have any luck finding what you need in the .css reply back and I can do some searching myself.
