No drop shadow for Opera under Pekwm with xcompmgr-dana.

Hi,
I'm running Pekwm with xcompmgr-dana and tint2. It works great except for one thing: There's no drop shadow on Opera windows. All other windows (except a couple of terminal emulators) have drop shadows. Any idea why there's no drop shadow for Opera, and if there's anything I can do to fix it?
I am running fully updated Arch x64 on a laptop with Intel graphics.

No the culprit is not urxvt, I think. I tried today 'terminal' from xfce4 and it too don't have shadows...
Someone can reproduce this with any other terminal?
Uhh, one more question of the people having or not the problem what is set the color depth of X, I think that fglrx only support >16 but I can't make it work with 32 (using 24) someone can run at 32 and see with you get or not shadows?
EDIT
Ok, I think I found the culprit: ARGB visual (or RGBA visuals...) if a program use it shadows don't work. Try emesene it have a config to use or not rgba visuals, If you set it (in .config/emesene*/*****) you don't get shadows if don't set you get shadows.
I think this explain the dual transparency/shadow... When I gonna investigate it more but now I have a homework of QFT to do...

Cannot Remove Drop Shadows for Icon Labels on Windows 8.1 Desktop

I have a new Dell Laptop with Windows 8.1 and a touch screen. The Icon labels on the Desktop have black shadows on white text. I have searched for answers and have tried the following, none of which worked. Is there anything else I can try?
Removed the checkmark by "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop" under System Properties, Advanced, Performance Options, Visual Effects tab, clicked on Apply, rebooted. Verfied that the ListViewShadow DWORD value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
is set to 0 (zero).
Made sure that the "Show my desktop background on Start" on the Taskbar and Navigation properties Navigation tab is unchecked.

Hi,
Have you restarted the computer before checking the results?
Also, I suggest you configure this registry key since HKEY_CURRENT_USER is just a mapped one of current user:
HKU\S-1-5-21-************\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\ListviewShadow
Note: Find your user GUID under HKU.

Drop shadow for invisible object

Just an idle thought...
If an object has neither stroke nor fill, is it possible to trick Illustrator
into generating a drop shadow for it?
Michael

Nope.
The object must have either a fill or a stroke to apply the Drop Shadow effect. You
can try simply setting a fill color to the same as your background color, or white.

Drop Shadow for Windows Splash Screen

Hi,
I need to create a splash screen for a client who is a Windows software developer.
I'm working on a Mac with Photoshop CS3.
It's simple enough given that I just have to create a 320x240 image and send it over to them.
However what I'd like to do is add a drop shadow to the graphic which shows up with transparency when the splash screen appears on the Windows desktop.
Any clues?
Thanks.

With what technology is the developer working? . . . Pass.
What file formats can they accept? . . . I'll give PNG24 a go on a dummy graphic and ask them to try it.
Thanks.
Bob.

Drop Shadow for text does not work

I can't get drop shadow to work for text. Every time I click on a text box and then click Effects, the drop shadow option does not appear as clickable and is basically blanked/darkened out. It only works for boxes/objects other than text but every tutorial out there shows that I am doing this correctly. What am I missing? Can you no longer make text with a drop shadow?

I've tried that too... when I go to the text tool and select the text itself the "effects" button disappears altogether and I can't find any other options to initiate drop shadow except through the "effects".
Using the selection tool it's not available.
Using the text tool... it's just not there at all.

Adding an ad block filter for Opera Mobile 10 with...

I just got my new N8!
i installed the opera mobile 10 browser. now i want to ad an ad block filter. from blogs, i read that this is possible by just copying a filter file into the installation folder of opera.
my problem is just that i do not find the installation order for opera!!!
where does the N8 install programs?
any help?
or does someone know another method of using an ad block? is there maybe an app for the nokia browser to block ads?

Yes, I do have the songs with the m3u file.
I tried your solution and it worked. It's not as simple as using an m3u file, but I'll take what I can get. Hurrah, my road trip and other playlists can be updated without gnashing of teeth!
Thank you so much!
ed2345 wrote:
eastercat, Do I understand correctly that you have the song files in a folder along with the M3U file?
If so, do as follows: In iTunes, File > New Playlist. Rename the new playlist to correspond to your compilation, and open it. Now go into the folder, delete the M3U, and drag all the songs into the open iTunes playlist window.

New to Pshop, trying to make gradient drop shadow for webpage

I am a newbie, just got Pshop and watching every tutorial I can find but can't seem to figure out how to make this graphic. This is a background image for one of my websites (where I did not create the graphic). Can anyone point me to a good tutorial or walk me through how to create this for a new site I am working on? Thanks, Gary

or... you could use CSS3 drop shadows on the containing element and skip the need for background images all together.
otherwise I would defer to the list just provided... there seems to be some good tuts in there on how to do what you are looking for...
the hickup you will run into is fading the shadow out at the bottom... this will require seperating the fx layer out and masking it off...
or just masking the layer itself since the your background is the same color as the element.

Drop shadow for images

I've done this easily in Photoshop CS3 but now I'm trying to teach people with Elements 6 or 7 how to add a drop shadow to their images. The help menu seems to think that I would add it only to text.
When I follow the procedure with an image open, nothing happens.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Mary Lou

Mary Lou,
To add a drop shadow to the entire picture:
1. Duplicate the picture layer.
2. Increase the canvas size. The duplicate layer will be on transparent background.
3. Apply the Drop Shadows Layer Style. To change the default shadow, open the Style Settings and adjust the various settings.
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1bxVVZCr9XHbMWpqGLbFyTNkpdVsma1
You can also create a drop shadow not using the layer style:
1. Duplicate the picture layer and increase canvas as above.
2. Ctrl-click the duplicate layer to select it.
3. Create a new layer below the duplicate layer and fill with black.
4. Use the Move tool to position the black layer where you want the shadow to be.
5. Soften the edges of the black layer using a Gaussian Blur.
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1fUAf62zQNztHfAbEOjTg8DSGaltBl0
In both methods you can lighten the shadow by reducing the layer's Opacity, or darken the shadow by duplicating the layer.
Also note that when you use the Drop Shadows Layer Style, when the Style Settings is open you can use the mouse to drag the shadow wherever you want, even totally off the object (unlike with the Shadow Distance slider).

Best Regard's,
Shashi Kanth

Hi Shashi,
Your code looks okay. Debug & check if everything goes fine and all the required list of values getting bound to node.
Is any code after this logic, which sets data to table ? if so, that logic is wiping out the drop down list values from context node.
Final check point:
Read the context node 'TABLE' and fetch records into internal table in WDDOMODIFYVIEW( ) method to make sure that, every row of your table contains the drop down list entries in "LEAVE_VALUES" attribute
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Rama

Trying to do .CSS drop shadows

Hi,
I'm trying to get a similar look and feel as this website
Livingsteel.org but can't
seem to crack the drop shadow for the main table/container. It's
the one down that covers the bottom and right side and makes the
site look very tidy.
I'm trying to do everything in .css from now on and any help
with this would be great.
Thanks in advance,
JW.

Well you can certainly do it with a table (and format the
table with CSS).
However to do it with divs, I would have a top div with the
top bar (and
the right corner of the shadow), a main div with the shadow
on the right
in the bakcground, and a bottom bar with the shadow and a bit
of the
bottom white.
Like this:
Course you can simply use divs to create the dropshadows as
you would do
it in a table.
You would more or less have a topleft corner div, a middle
top div, a
topright corner div etc.
The more light way of doing this would be to see if you can
accomplish
the first suggestion by using existing elements (for example
having the
background of the footer and header contain the background
and shadows).
There are a bunch of sites around that explore rounded
corners and
dropshadows with css and divs.

Drop shadows, pages etc.

1. Can you create drop shadows for text from within Encore? I don't see an option for that in the character panel.
2. How do I create a second page for my chapters? When I tried to do this it took my text from the main menu with it.
3. How do I delete a page?
4. How do I import a still image to put on the menu as just part of the picture without making it a menu or button item?
Thanks for all your help with these several questions. This is my first project since coming over from DVD Studio Pro to Premiere CS6.

Encore has quite a few menu editing functions built in, but I much prefer to select the menu and use "Edit in Photoshop."
From within Encore:

Drop shadow blur issue

Hi, we have come across an issue using Illustrator drop shadows with a large blur. What seems to happen is that Illustrator expands the box size and after fading the shadow to nothing it seems to fade back to the colour. To try create a box with a colour fill, add a drop shadow with any colour other than black with about a 7mm offset and a blur of over 10mm

I see the problem for one thing when yo give the feather a large setting it extends beyond the the shape that it is generated by so it is actually expanding beyond what a pears to be a clipping path that is totally invisible as well as extending to the opposite direction of the direction of the offset.
You can draw a shape that can mask the edges showing and make a clipping mask.
You can also make your own shadow which might prove to be a better option with a feathered copy of the objects shape and filling that with the color you want you can give it quite a feather if you desired.
The reason that might be better is that you can use a spot color which does not seem to be supported in drop shadows but is supported in feathered shapes.
This is puzzling as I swear I read somewhere this was fixed?
This is what a drop shadow looks like when created with a feathered rectangle of course you have more control this way as you can resize the shadow to give it a more realistic feel as a shadow would be larger then the original shape.
So the way they should fix this is to also have a setting for the clip as well as a setting for the size of the shadow or if the wish distance from object calculation.
So the feather technique also gives you the option of adjusting the placement of the shadow in a manually tactile manner. You should probably group the two once you finished or make it a symbol as Mordy points t making these types of object symbols are useful
and can come in handy especially if youy want to export to Flash at sometime in the future.
Anyway I am going to add these ideas to my feature request for cast shadows and other enhamcements to the shadow effect.
You can all do so as well.

Drop shadow on text stroke

Hi all,
This might sound like a silly thing to do, but is it possible to add a drop shadow to the stroke of some text.
I have tried various ways but just end up with a drop shadow for the text itself, rather than a drop shadow on the stoke alone.
Cheers,
Rob

Thanks Eugene,
I'll try that one.

Drop Shadow caused by light source (Motion 3)?

i am trying to create some drop shadows with objects in Motion, and i cannot seem to find a way to allow the 3D lights, to create a drop shadow for the object that is blocking the light. The object is also in a 3D group.
I am aware that you can just enable the "Shadow" box in the properties tab when in a 2D project/group, but this is not available when in a 3D group, so...
Is this not implemented yet?

No, this is NOT available in Motion yet. Need to go over to After Effects for the Cast Shadow and Accept Shadow options.

No drop shadow for Opera under Pekwm with xcompmgr-dana.
