Re: Drop shadow madness

[Chris Chabot <chabotc xs4all nl>]

Question, looking at my fancy redhat beta the XFree86 (4.3) mouse, it 
already has a nice drop shadow and doesnt seem to impact performance.. 
wouldn't this imply that X is already getting support for translucent 
shadows? I'm not really up to speed on X developments, but just hopefull ;-)
