Drop shadow for Miranda contact list

did you check the box?.. if that doesn't work, you can always skin it into the clist background in photoshop.. that's what i do

The box can't be checked - it seems to be inactive. I added shadow to the background in Photoshop, too but I'm not crazy about the drop shadow options there (at least in Photoshop Elements which is all I have) or maybe I don't know how to use them very well. Anyway, I was hoping the clist shadow option might be better.

is 'photoshop elements' the same as 'blending options'? if not then 'blending options' is what you're looking for

Actually, Photoshop Elements is the version of Photoshop I have, it's not the full version. Drop shadows are available under "Layer Options" but control is limited.
