Consistency is good. Lets see, a 1 pixel shadow on the upper right would be: Font "shadow=1,ur:9x15bold" A 2 pixed shadow all around the character would be: Font "shadow=2,l r t b ur ul lr ll:9x15bold" It seems easy enough to figure out. -- 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/>.
