Gee, when you're right, you're right. Its really not that hard. Its not as simple as just adding a shadow to the font, but I guess I can manage it. So, I tried it out. I was surprised to see that the shadow descends down below the character. Isn't the effect in FvwmScript the opposite, Ie. the shadow is above the letters? Since thats where I want the shadow, I tried using negative numbers. That didn't seem to work. Large negative numbers are interesting, they can make the titlebar disappear. Shouldn't the shadow stuff be at the end of the font name along with the other modifiers? -- Dan Espen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 444 Hoes Lane Room RRC 1C-214 Phone: (732) 699-5570 Piscataway, NJ 08854 -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
