I think he was referring to being. able to get Windows 11 style shadows when running Windows 10.

... about going too far down this rabbit hole. Windows 11 design is a lot different from Windows 10. Under Win 11 panels and other controls also have shadows. Oh, and most Win 11 controls have rounded corners too. Preparing for the inevitable, I would try to emulate Win 11 design now. People do judge ...

... removed, however, the automatic shadow is also removed. I think that the best solution would be to let Windows 10 & 11 automatically draw the shadows. They are quite complex as you know; fading according to the background colors and being rounded at the corners. Also they change the thickness ...

... If we can re-create dialogs to look like the above then we get automatic shadows without any programming. I have never tried to make a dialog without the caption bar, so I don't know how hard (or easy) that might be. We would ...

... both show the shadow under both Windows 10 and Windows 11. However, I have been unable to create a similar shadow with panels. The new Windows 11 shadows are quite sophisticated, and they blend according the background and also blend around the corners. I also note that the Windows 11 shadows ...

Dear James,

Could you please post some screenshots ?

many thanks

Good news! Newer versions Windows 10 are now showing all windows and dialogs with the all-around shadows--no programming required. The bad news is that panels still do not have shadows. It would be great if they also add the rounded corners too! This will save us a lot ...

I have now seen at least two programs running under Windows 10, that have the Fluent design (rounded windows and dialogs with drop shadows all the way around). Malware Bytes has this, and don't remember what the other program was. I am wondering if they are using an add-on product like ...

Here is my progress, or lack therof. I found that both windows and dialogs have four-sided shadows by default in Windows 10. This can be turned on or off in the Windows settings, but the default is on. That was easy. However, panels do not have shadows--at least FW panels ...
