Shadow Settings

You can set the shadow settings of any branches or graphics that are selected using the shadow palette:

To show a shadow on the branch or graphic, check the Shadow checkbox.

You can set the shadow to inherit from its parent (i.e. the branch it is attached to) or set the shadow yourself by turning this option off. To manually set the shadow, turn off the Inherit from parent option and use the options described below to set up the shadow.

You can select the color of the shadow using the color well. If you need more control over the shadows, click on the right arrow icon at the top of the panel and the panel will flip to show the advanced options:

The default shadow button resets the shadow to a "normal" shadow similar to that used behind windows and panels in MacOS X. The fuzziness slider allows you to adjust how fuzzy or sharp the edges of the shadow are. The offset of the shadow can be either set using the X and Y offset numbers, or you can just drag the position of the grey cross that appears in the box when you turn shadows on. You can see the shadow update as you change the settings.
