Description A tip for for adding shadow to your taskbar using AveDesk. It is for users whose taskbar is at the top of the desktop.

Guide:

Download and install AveDesk

Download the shadow file: shadow

Add a PidlShortcut. Use the shadow as the image and set the dimensions to the width of your screen resolution and the height of that image (19 pixels).

Then move it under your taskbar to where it looks like a shadow and just make it always on bottom and have it "click thru" it.

I don't know what happened, because I wrote a comment here before and it is not showing; I guess I didn't hit "send". Anyway, the "PidlShortcut" here is set, but I have no idea on how to drag, or move it under my taskbar; left or right click (or both) and hold, nothing seems to work...

Could you please lend me a hand in this?

Thanks in advance.
