Re: Shadowing icons

On 17 Oct, Miguel de Icaza scribbled:

->  Hello guys,
->  
->     I would like to make our Icon List nicer and I was thinking that
->  instead of drawing a blue box behind the icon and then drwaing the
->  icon on top of that, we should be able to draw some sort of shadow
->  that would highlight the icon.
->  
->     What I would like to have is to just extend the icon mask, compute
->  the diference and draw on the difference a color.  Optimally, I would
->  like to use shades of colors:  The closer the pixel is to the original
->  mask, the brigther.
->  
->     Anyone wants to volunteer to write such a routine?

just compute 3 RGB lookup tables for Red, green and blu channels for
modifyoing the color then let imlib do the rest (imlib has rotuines to
set these lookup tables).
