[RESOLVED] Custom drop shadow

[Jim Davis]

Hello!

I'm look after a solution to draw some drop shadow to my drawn objects to make the gui more entertaining. The way i found is that i use getpixel/setpixel to blend the edges to make the shadow like effect. Well if you look at the attached img it looks almost ok, but the problems is that this way is pretty much slow I also want to implement some bluring to make the edges less sharp, but i just dont get any examples about how to compute. That may also give some more performance drops.

Is there any way to attaching, or just force the system to render multiple drop shadow effect instances inside a picturebox, wherever i want it? I think about the shadow beneath the popup menus for example.
