Hi Claudio,

This is another idea. I don't use shape object, but here is what I did (this create a "real" shadow):

- make a rectangular bitmap, 24x8 pixel for the bottom shadow and 8x24 for the right shadow. Use the light grey color (i.e. rgb = 192, 192, 192)

- create the mask for the bitmap (monochrome) with white color

- Use image object and use that bitmap, resize the object to adjust the shadow size (width / height).

If you want to try this, do not create a large bitmap. it will slow down the display

Hope it helps a bit
