Is there any way to get rid of it and add a small stroke like WindowShadeX does... You see... I'm using WindowShadeX with no shadows (with a border around the windows) and the menu bar sticks way out there with a deep shadow on it... kinda defeats the purpose of having the nice windows and menus.

Can anyone help me make the menu bar shadow smaller or something?

I've wondered the same thing.... I'm sure Unsanity is working on this for future update of WindowShadeX.

DeskShade Plus does that... but it'll cost ya. ($6.99 I believe).

Personally I like the extra features it offers so I bought a copy, but if anyone knows an option for the non-wage earning folks out there it would be good to know.

yeah, but it only does it when it covers the whole desktop. I LIKE to see my icons....

Cody: agreed.
I was trying things out with it (unregistered) and I couldn't get it.
To anyone who has a registered copy: can you so this if it is registered?

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!

Yeah, that Desk Shade program just draws the desktop picture on top of the menubar shadow to hide it. It woul dbe nice if Unsanity could implement into Windowshade's Shadow options to disable the menubar shadow. On some themes it just does not go well.
