They used a simple bimap. Their approach is more or less the same as the first implementation I did (when no color configuration was possible), except they just use one bitmap that they split at predefined positions instead of having one bitmap per side/corner. > > * The shadow color configuration might be dropped --> At least > if we can find a shadow that works well on most backgrounds (e.g. > finding an appropriate color, or calculating the shadow based > on the application background color - preferred).

I think we'll have to test how gradients can be used to get a nice background.
