Shadows not working
Why no shadows (borders)?


Just sitting here playing with it, using the settings you are showing there creates a solid outline instead of a shadow. That makes sense, you're telling it to create a completely opaque image with no blur. Instead of 100% / 0% / 2px, try 70% / 23% / 2px.
Right, I think it's right... I've done it before but this time it just wont play.
The Window border options might work better, turns out both are not intuitive. For example, the default border image was like 2px - you have to edit that to make a 4px border. Seems like you can't just say 'no border' or 'solid border' sized by the margin setting.
I just wanted to make a border around windows like there should be in the first place, before MS downgraded the Windows UI. This tool can do it, but it requires a master degree to do it.
No, trust me, I'm not that smart.
You just have to play with it a little and get the feel of it.
Ghosters...I am at a loss as to why you would post 5 threads all seemingly related to the UI of the Curtains program.
Surely all related queries would be best served in the one thread where Support would not otherwise lose continuity of what is being replied to.
All five appear to be straight complaints as to how you think an interface should be, which is at odds with how it currently is.
To that end I think 4 should be closed so all future communication related to the GUI is in one place only...;)
Shadows....
1) Adjusting shadow colors displays on-screen to all windows, until moved, then the border color setting overrides.
2) Inactive vs Active have separate settings, except the "recolor shadows" applies to both. The GUI provides no indication. In Windows tab, the borders left/right/bottom each have their own recolor mode. I'm mostly concerned with the confusion when adjusting the inactive borders, then finding that the active border has changed also. The secondary concern is to have separate recolor options, but maybe it's fused by design.
3) Shadows color vs 'recolor' ... how does that work? I found that using shades of gray for the color can make the 'recolor' lighter or darker. When setting color in the color, it does odd things... this is something the user will get used to, if they bother. IMO there should be something on the screen to indicate the connection between these settings.
Windows -> Borders does not have adjustment for thickness?
The sides are thicker then the bottom, 1-2 pixels.
There's no top border?
When active and inactive shadow colors are grayscale, the 'recolor' works properly.
When adding color to the inactive color, the active color goes gray (ignoring the recolor)
Allow fat borders. Buried in the advanced settings. Great, thanks.
