What Tool Do Ya Use For Adding Shadows?

Discuss here!

#95203

WinFX 2.1 with modified Darwin-Mini (to avoid those nasty non-rounded shadows).

#95206

using yzshadow because winfx2 seems to use overlay mixer to render the shadow. which causes black screen when other media applications try to use overlay. winfx2 looks better than yzshadow imo and it can shadow more stuff w/ addshadow.

#95207

Y'z Shadow, cuz its free. :blink:

#95209

Yz shadow because im....lazy?

#95212

Yeah i like YZ shadow,one reason is that it's a free app another is it uses less memory! :wub:

#95217

YZ shadow, like contrasutra said :"it's free".

#95240

I don't use any because:

1: You can't get rid of the borders in Windows and borders+shadows=dumb & unnecessary.

2: When I use YZ Shadow, sometimes it craps up and it gives me an error and it closes the application.

Yz all the way.

WinFX half the way. I like the looks of WinFX's shadow effect better than Yz, but on the other hand Yz is free & still is a quality program which makes it ideal for people who dont want to waste $ (meaning - YZ IS GOOD).

Darwin-Mini modification for winfx

#95259

Windwos FX 2.0 the best :D

#95288

YZ for me. It's free, faster than WindowFX on my system and breaks rarely :lol:

@theunknown: how do you get to have borderless windows? Msstyle modifications?

#95317

I still use all of the Y'z apps :D

#95338

I used to use Yz until I found Mac OS X vs2 rounded for WindowFX. Holy crap it looks good, and you can shadow everything with AddShadow.

#95438

none, but i used to use yz shadow, but since i am not as into the mac look right now (i have fallen in love with reluna) i am not using shadow.

Unknown how did you get borderless?

#95490

did someone ever get around to making an addshodows for yz...shadows

since so many of us are using it over fx.my self included.
