Is there a way to get drop shadows with popup2.dll, lsbox.dll or any modules?

you can make your images *.png files and make a shadow on them using the alpha channel of the image. that's what *.png support is for!

Some modules has textshadowing method, but half also dont have. I want all of them to have shadows.

but popup2 doesn't support alpha-transparency! :(

It can be done, but the drop shadow can't blend into the magic pink or you'll have an unsightly pink ring. :/

popup2 supports shadows. lsbox doesn't, but you can always load a module that does (like label) into it.

maduin, you mean that i can use png's alpha-transparency with popup2.dll?
really? how?

Maduin talk about text shadows. Not layered png

Maduin please add the code for text shadowing into Tasks 0.93 & jAmpToo 1.30. I know it s not too much time eating. 2 years passed and as i see there s not much improvement...

Smurth, put Label.dll in a box. So you've text shadows in LsBox, that's what Maduin wanted to mean.

Deedstyger, I know what Maduin's talking about. I know what I can do and what I can't; and how... and I'm trying to not use lsbox...

As far as I know Label supports all the stuff jAmpToo can do. I'll look into Tasks.

If only there were some sort of font service in the core so this didn't have to be done for every individual module...
