This little StyleHackes simulates a dropshadow under the taskbar text by using the TextGlow properties.
The glow properties can be found and changed in: Taskbar & Tray Notify > Taskband > Aero > Toolbar.

Hey, thanks for the stylehack.  Is there any way I can edit the stylehack myself through Vista Style Builder?  Maybe there's a variable added somewhere?  There's too many places for me to search for it  :)

The stylehack adds everything in the Taskbar & Tray Notify > Taskband > Aero > Toolbar element.

At the moment it is not easily possible to change StyleHacks. It is possible to create your own or use the Difference Tool to find out what a stylehack did.

Hi Andreas, is there a way to make texts look like Mac (black text with white glow or something like that)?

Yeah, just revert the colors.

Can you please tell me where to change it in VSB?

Sorry for that question I found it. But this is not the same, even not close to how Mac looks. What I want is the text like in Safari toolbar or other things

There are any possibility to change glow (and/or other attributes) when app is "calling" (orange color)?

I spent hours on the flashbutton. No-go.

I wonder if something similar can be done with the text in the places bar.

As you can see with the pic the left arrow/triangle on the Control Panel link has black glow rendered after some tweaking, can it be turned on for the Text labels too does anyone know? :)
