Sojiro84: I agree, no effect in Win 10. I contacted support, got a reply, sent in my logs, and am hoping for a reply...

(Y'z shadow (freeware, old) works, but there's a problem with tiled (win 10) programs whereby it leaves blank frames. I've fixed that (sort of) with a small script which conditionally kills a Win 10 process, but it's not a complete or 'nice' solution, 'tho pretty good in practice).

Welp, figured it out. I decided to check my visual settings from Windows itself and somehow the automatic settings that windows has as a default was disabled. Seems my i5 and 760 isn't powerful enough to render a shadow effect.

 

Needless to say, when I turned on full visual quality the shadow got applied.

 

Silly error on my end!
