This is what I'm fighting with...
I've just started working on this new theme after scraping the last 4 or 5 about 3/4 of the way through for one reason or the other, and this time the problems are annoying me faster than usual. I only got as far as my rough draft of my titlebar and main widgets before I decided to test what I had so far and got this. Is there any real way to fake my way through fixing this? Or is this going to have to be another thing I have to change my design to work with? Anybody else run into problems with the shadows making their themes look funny, any workarounds? Until I figure out in which way I'm going to compromise my design I'll just use a dark background...

'TheDisaster' - Ask everyone who uses your finished theme
to install WindowShade X - yes it's insanity, sorry Unsanity ...
Sorry about being so facetious;)

Yes I suppose I could do that, but I'd rather not release a theme requiring people to get other third party software. I'm going to play around with the design a bit more, thanks for the suggestion.

If you dont mind you could email me the mock up of what your trying to accomplish and the extras.rsrc file your working with and I could do it and return it to you so you can see how someone else might accomplish it.

Thank you very much for the offer, but I started working on a variant of the design and I actually like what I came up with more. If this theme is the one that I actually (finally) finish 100% and release, I will probably consider making another version with my original design, and at that point I may ask you for advice. But, what I was doing was to have the widgets be 'suspended' into the end of the titlebar with nothing behind it at that part. But what I ended up with was the shadows between the things holding the widgets up, and underneath them, bunching together and looking really thick, dark, and ugly. I'm probably going to try it again with having the whole extension being the widget, that way it won't have the shadows, but I'm not sure how the flat shadow running under them would look with them sticking up. I'll mess with them later, thank you for the offer swiz.
