Title: Text shadow on commandmodule
Post by: Vzdorjii on May 24, 2010, 10:00:52 pm
Guys, i wonder how i could add a shadow on the text for the commandmodule. I tried to add these properties : TEXTSHADOWOFFSET:POSITION,  TEXTSHADOWTYPE:ENUM and TEXTSHADOWCOLOR:COLOR.  That did not work... I tried to make a stylehack, did not work...

I guess it might be the same thing as for vista, so you must probably add some property like "fontstyle=shadow" in your shellstyle file
Bellow (not sure):
<style resid="SplitButtonStyle">
<style resid="TaskButtonStyle">

Yep, i'm on it. But you think it's possible to add the shadowtype and position values in the shellstyle ? I think so but i really wonder how i can add it.

To my knowledge, it's impossible  :(
"fontstyle=shadow" is the only property, for shadow, accepted by the shellstyle
you can not change either the color or the position, or the value of the shadow

Using the Shellstyle locations above and adding fontstyle="shadow" to them, and then adding glowcolor and glowintensity to CommandModule >3>1 I replicated the picture in the above link:

It looks like a shadow just as krosavcheg said and it is in Giannis's Snow Leopard shellstyle too, so it's likely that's what he's using, though Giannis doesn't add the glowcolor and glow intensity.

Yes i tried and it worked right. But what i would like to have is a mac-like lil shadow. Like if you would have added TEXTSHADOWOFFSET:POSITION 1, 0

Dunno how i could figure it out
