Yeah, this menu-drop-shadow really rules! It would also be nice if windows could have drop shadows. What do you think?

Hmm, I believe this is more of a job for X. Let's wait for Keith.

Anyway, drop shadow menu combined with mouse cursor shadow looks really kick-ass. Pick-up good icons/window decoration/splashscreens/ and you're set to make your Windows friends totally jealous.

A BLACK X-mouse-pointer with a BLACK-drop-shadow...? *g*

BTW: Which windows-friends? :)

Forget the pointer. Those goodies will keep people busy anyway :-)

Oh, that reminds me of another new KDE feature: builtin white mouse cursor support :). I'm not sure if it made it in to 3.1a1, though.

Someone please redesign those horrible X pointers. The whole font is butt ugly.

Yes they look sweet.

Just curious, does anyone want to explain how are these being done? I thought shadows like these are impossible in X.

Better than windows; "Show shadows under menus" (Display Properties->Apperance->Effects) is a boring name. I don't know what exactly they are called in KDE, but I don't think it could be worse.
