Description Made a simple app to add a drop shadow to your taskbar. One .exe for a taskbar on the bottom, and one for the taskbar on top. Use whichever you need...

No installation, just copy to your %Program Files% folder. And run whichever .exe you need.

Instructions included.

-Adjustable opacity (darkness)
-Option to run at startup

Other than the ability to right click the shadow, it is non intrusive and doesn't show anything in the system tray.

Right click the shadow to choose preferences or to close it.

There may be a very slight chance that this won't work for your setup. Therefore, no support is given for this program.

Seems like Y'z Shadow can do this too. But an stand-alone app is always welcome, even more welcome when its well made. very nice app!

sweatyfish In reply to reenan [2009-05-22 01:27:43 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I use Y'z shadow myself. I made this before I found the Vista compatible version of Y'z shadow.

Anyone tried it with x64 yet? I had it working fine for a few minutes but seemed to lock up my system frequently so I have to uninstall.

BTW - its beautiful, I'd love to get it working correctly.

invaderjohn In reply to ??? [2008-11-06 19:19:43 +0000 UTC]

one problem though.. since i use dualscreen and have only taskbar on one screen the shadow shows on the other screen aswell and it looks weird.. so it would be great if u could somehow add an option so it just shows on one screen

StopDreaming In reply to ??? [2008-11-06 14:52:49 +0000 UTC]

To my mind, it's a must have for all customizers.
Perfectly working with my Vista 32bits OS.
It's a tool I always wanted to have, and it's fully customizable.
The fave is deserved
I'll recommend it to everybody!

Hi!

Looks very nice but my bar is on auto-hide and the shadow doesn't follow the bar state... Too bad!

I'll stick with Y'z for now...

Good luck!
