(Hope this is the right section, if not: feel free to move)

On many screenshots I can see that the water sources of a lake have just 90% of the height of a normal node, e.g.:

=> Bottom left corner

I haven't seen this is my 0.4.7 stable build. Where does it come from? Does it have to do with finite water?

I just tried finite water, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with it.

add "new_style_water = true" to your minetest.conf and you will get the lowered water.

Note that as of 0.4.7, this doesn't require shaders; just saying. :)

Can I do this also for existing worlds?

It is an engine feature so it only affects what you see.
