Haha, maybe it's on purpose, TheBigB trying to tell us something? :canadian:
Grand-Masta released this paper with the shadow on it months ago in his gnome total conversion pack.
(and it didn't have a black line ;-))
just... um.. wow... 
whooops... 
The black line is so when you have this wallpaper set as your background, it will give the dock have a psudo-shadow on the desktop like in OSX. Yes, this has been released before.
the shadows are resolution specific, and its pretty annoying for you and the other wall makers to make walls in a lot of resolutions >.<
where can i find the tutorial to add a fake shadow to a wallpaper? i used to have it once but i lost it...

Heh, they meant the other black line. The one that is almost at the bottom of the image

Long time ago, at my very beginnings here I released a photoshop action that was adding shadows like that to images. Maybe that's it that you were thinking about? I can say it was pretty sh!tty and almost noone liked it. I think it's better to install YzShadow or Windowfx, it's more economical.
here's a tutorial:
if your using ob, get winfx.
if your using the normal taskbar, get yzshadow.
if your using the normal taskbar, but prefer winfx, use jef's adshadow too.
if you really want to waste your time everytime you get a wall...
open photoshop, having taken a screenshot of your dt with the taskbar where you always have it.
cut the taskbar out of there, then paste it back on.
turn it into a black box with brightness adjustment or any other preferred method.
blur filter the bejeezus out of it(to your preferred bejeezus level).
adjust the transparency of the shadow layer to your preferred not there level.(50%?)
position it so that you have the right amount of shadow below your desired taskbar position.
cut the unneeded shadow off top of your new shadow exactly! where your taskbar bottom is.
delete your bottom layer(your original screenshot).
save as a psd.
everytime you get a new wall, all you have to do is slap the wall into that psd, and bump it down a layer. then save as usual jpg.
really don't know why you would want to go through all that crap though, or need a 'tutorial'.
WHAT ARE YOU ALL TALKING ABOUT?!
The black line symbolizes our break and defiance of the norm. The shadow symbolizes the essence of death emerging not from the unknown but slightly from within the image itself. Showing us that we have an inner darkness within us all!
Cant you see this ART?!

ART?
I thought it was a samurize config
well at least someone liked it. well for those who don't like the line, i was in such a rush to release it that i didn't see the black line. well i fixed it when i came home from school and here it is: btw, yes it is only for 1024x768 and i used that same method to make the shadow but i made it up of nothing but my desktop and the black line was from a bug in mspaint. either that or my sister played with my wallpaper. well at least i know it was released with the line. well here's a copy where i fixed the problem oh btw this is not a copy of someone else's wall i made it just this morning. btw it's dialup friendly. 34kb.

mind if i quote you (and put your name under it), write that on the buggy wallpaper, and redistribute it? after hearing that i might even use wallpaper like that! :canadian:
I really like the wallpaper (Y) but er... not sure about the shadow though...
Nice addition to the wallpaper but personally I like the shadow overlapping a maximised window which is an effect only possible with an additional proggie.
the shadow is so penny pinchers (like me) can use a shadow on the menubar without spending money on windowfx

woah, i knew i could have a taskbar shadow with yzshadow, but where the hell do i find it in windowfx? Thats the one feature i really wanted but when i click on the shadows button all i get is the options for window shadows. >.< That would be sweet if i was just blind...err no but you know what i mean.
