Title: Help with text shadow, also a Control Panel-type BG image
Post by: krosavcheg on October 24, 2009, 01:30:36 am
Hello!
I've been trying to port my theme for a while now, and I can't seem to figure out the following:
1) How can I add shadow to the Command Module text? Or a glow, whatever is possible? When I try to add it, there's no effect whatsoever.
2) Where is the background for that panel? ( http://img24.imageshack.us/i/25349690.png/ )
Thanks in advance!

2) bmp file in shell32.dll. (#632=overlay, #633=background)

Thanks for the reply!
BTW, figured out the shadow - it's in shellstyle.dll.

Here you go:
Shell - attached

Although, I did add some black (0, 0, 0) glow to Explorer and shell > Explorer > Command Module > 3 > 1. Don't know if that's what affects the shadow - but the text looks like a shadow to me, not like a glow. Also, I added Glow Size=3, Glow intensity = 100 as well.

Does it work for you?
I mean I didn't add any properties besides the glow.
