Ok, you are in release ;-) i can just describe= =20 them, they explain how to do icons with alpha by doing 2 or 3 povray runs=20 with different parameters. By doing that we could get some alpha shadowed=20 backgrounds. I promise to get on that, well, if you don't before ;-) > > > Keep me informed how your work goes.
