Does the property shadow-border actually draws a border in the shadows?

    Hello!

    I have an issue, or maybe it isn't, so I need to be clarified in this aspect... does the property "shadow-border" actually works when theming Beshell?

    The problem; I have 6 panels, desinged to show me information, like CPU, the top process, my GPU temperature, etc.

    I want them to have a padding shadow and with a border, like this: http://be-desk.deviantart.com/art/Like-A-Good-Drink-372217706

    because when I give my panels a translucent border in the panels directly with the "border" property, they look ugly, like this: http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/9840/ds45.png

    So When I try to use the shadow padding and the shadow border I only get this: http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/6255/tlq.png

    Theres is no shadow-borders, it doesn't matter the aplha value I use, there is no border in the shadows, as in the Lagadesk's screenshot.

    Not matter either the rgb values I use, there is no border as my screenshot.

    No difference between: shadow-border:rgba(0,0,0,120) 2; and shadow-border:rgba(255,255,255,120) 2; I can't see any color, any border, nothing just the shadow without border...

    I have tried the lastest git tree (https://sourceforge.net/p/be-shell/code/ci/427ff1d100baeb2fce6b72ee9d3f8e7f0a0c590c/), and no results.

    try: "shadow-border:rgba(0,0,0,120) 2px;" - notice the "px" suffix.

    seems i got to fix rob's code - a bit ;-)

    Thank you Thomas, it works right now, but just when I put the "px" suffix, but I don't have problems with that :).

    in the image I'm using a shadow padding of 2 pixels each side, but 1 pixel thick shadow-border, it looks a lot smoother than using the border property in the panel.

    How may I mark/label this thread as solved?

    I don't think that's possible.
    Such would happen in the bugtracker - and this actually was a bug; but i cannot move discussions to bugs either.
    I could delete it, but don't see why. So it's just there and if sth. doesn't work as announced, feel free to open a bug about it.
