[help] Fix Y'z Shadow Corner

Hi,

I'm using a theme that has rounded corners for the bottom of the windows and I'm using Y'z Shadow for shadows and the shadows don't conform to the rounded corners. My question is: How do I fix the shadow corners so they're nice and round?

Thanks,

Nando

You have to set the shadow offset to about 4-5 in the options.

Excellent. It worked! Thanks!

By the way, why isn't there a shadow when I use iTunes? Is that normal?

Yes it is normal. Y'z Shadow can't shadow itunes. It's because itunes is using a borderless type of window that Y'z can't shadow and it can't force borderless windows to have a shadow.

Oh, bummer.

Thanks a lot, though.

acedriver I am 90% agree with you, after playing a whil with "Copy" and "Past" between my 2 desktop screenshot (one form OSX 10.3 and the other form XP), I suggest this settings for YzShadow

The only things that change is the alpha level and top border adjustement
