Aqua-Soft ForumsIs it better ? Is there an attached shadow (for WindowFX) to the taskbar ?
Does Windowfx Shadows Better Than Y'z Shadow ?
I personally think that windowfx shadows look and run better. It does not put a shadow under the taskbar, it does however do object bar. Also it has other cool effects, i dont use any of the others, but they are nonetheless cool 
Excuse me master, i'm just a young padawan... 
if you use objectbar, use winfx. Other than that, y'z with addshadow will shadow alot of stuff(qcd, itunes, etc.) that winfx won't. Their are a couple of extra options that are good, though about 80% of them are relatively useless. Also, changing your shadow a bit is easier on the fly with y'z, but winfx is a bit better to fully customize to your likings.
I use winfx everyday now, i like it. oh well.
they really should update it though.
:banging:
i dont' think yzshadow will not shadow transparent areas or curved corners correctly whereas winfx will. at least the version of yzshadow i'm using does not.

imo, wfx is way better.
has much more options, features and it covers up the task bar WITHOUT the need of jef's app. Regarding that, add a shadow by jef exclusively support wfx.
Of course wfx, unlike anything else, supports objectbar.

dope, i hardly used it, thought i used it with y'z.
oh and the last copy of y'z i used did shadow curved windows properly. You just had to offset the shadows right.
the shadow is more OS X-ish with wfx.

WinFX is hardware.
Y'z Shadow is Software.
No comparision. 
I use Y'z Shadow, because its free. 
Ok but WindowFX cannot attach a shadow to the taskbar, without that you have the feeling that the others windows are drawn over the taskbar (because the shadows they cast).
well but the taskbar gets higher priority over other windows so the shadow cast by the taskbar will always be on top of any window which is not the case in osx.
I use winfx but i block winfx shadows on objectbar. then i add a fake shadow to my finder bar on my wallpaper.
Workaround: instead of put the taskbar at the top of the desktop screen put it at the bottom so you can easily imagine that the shadow is not visible because this one is always cast to the bottom...

actually the new version of wfx does shadow the task bar if im not mistaken.
regardless there is "add a shadow" by jef that saves the day.
Although I use OB.
