No Taskbar-Shadow - corrupt Icons

The answer is not 42.

from JoeUser Forums
Hello there.

Some problems with my skinning, as seen on those shots: http://www.umeon.de/download/icons1.jpg and http://www.umeon.de/download/taskbar1.jpg

The taskbar has no shadow but a strange grey bottom (shadow from WinFX or WBlinds?!). The Icons on desktop seem to be destroyed - no correct shadow there. Other windows do have correct shadows, just have a look at the shots.

Working on WinXP with Windowblinds 4.4, WindowsFX 2.11, ObjectDock Plus and IconPackager 2.50. Ati graphics card with new drivers.
Skins: Tiger and some Snow E-Icons. Have tried other Skins and Icons (even fixing them with IconPackager), but with no correct results. Software damaged?

Any hints for solving that one? Thanks.

The grey bottom is just the handle for your unlocked taskbar. If you want it to go away, right click your taskbar and hit "Lock the Taskbar."

As for the icons, I've seen that happening if the transparencies are messed up but I'm not sure of its exact cause.

Ok, have "locked" the taskbar - but still there's no shadow underneath it.

Don't know what to do with messed up transparencies. But thanks for a start.

Pushing it up again. It's driving me mad!!! I don't geht the shadows right anymore. Even a new installation of directX and IconPackager didn't do anything. What can I do now?

What Program is responsible for displaying the taskbar-shadow?
