Hey guys i know this is a pretty stupid question but i really want to know that how to add shadows on backgrounds ?
what is the code for that ?
like if we have to add shadow on string the code will be this StringEffect=Shadow
but how to add the same shadow effect on images
and i already know that u can add shadow effect using photoshop but that will be big process if u have multiple images
thanxx in adavnce

I do it by duplicating the code for the image, adding "Greyscale=1" and maybe "ImageAlpha=xx" (to the value you want) and place it just before the original image with a slight offset in X and Y.
If you want colored shadows you can add the "ImageTint" option to the duplicated, grey shadow-image.

Well actually i am doing the same but its not working for me
Well actually what i am really trying to achieve is this kind of shadow this is an rss feed from Enigma A blurry shadow like image
so can we have that
is there is any code for that
However, unless the size of the RSS feed 'window' is going to be constantly changing, you may well find that the easiest way will be with a photoshop or GIMP image.
This is not going to be possible really with Rainmeter code.
You should consider making an image in Photoshop or Gimp or Paint.Net or whatever you use, and apply the outer glow, drop shadow or gradient blur or whatever you like to that.
You can create one image, say 50 X 50, then use ScaleMargins when you resize it with W and H, so you don't scale the "edges" when you size it.
