New feature in 5.51
Published on June 28, 2007 By Frogboy In WinCustomize News

 Skinners have an excellent opportunity to update their skins to take advantage of Windows Vista with minimal work: Vista shadows.

WindowBlinds 5.51 supports painting the shadows in Windows Vista as part of a UIS2 formatted WindowBlinds skins. 

To add support simply open the UIS file and in the [Personality] area add: AllowVistaShadows=1 and from then on, on Windows Vista, your skin will display the Vista shadow underneath it. 

Feel free to update your WindowBlinds skin on WinCustomize to support this feature as Vista users will likely appreciate the cool results!

We put shadows on frames for XP...if you leave the shadows to Vista,Xp frames wont have them.  

I guess its only for non perpixel skins.

These shadows will work best on square or near square edged skins, because of this there is no option in wbconfig to force it on a skin.

I.R.Brainiac: You could always make a substyle.

Well, hang me.  Not sure what is going on here.  This morning I do not see what I was seeing yesterday.  Now I don't see the shadows on the frames.  Checked the blind and yes the line of code is still there.  Hum, is my computer playing games with me?  Going to exit and give it a good spanking.

Ok, spanking didn't work.  The second time I applied the blind, the shadows back with the mirrowing effect.  Hum, maybe I'll make this a square blind.  Computer wins.
