No WinFX shadow under the start menu

from Stardock Forums
Hello,

when I enable the shadow for the menus there aren't any shadows under the Windows Start menu nor the favorite menu, why?

Same issue for the 'AllPrograms' submenus, but it's ok for the 'AllPrograms' menu.

I'm getting the same issue.

Figured WindowFX 3 was out and tested long enough to upgrade from WindowFX 2.2. No shadows on Start Menu or Favorites menu upon bootup - instantly disappointed. Installed latest beta of WindowFX 3 from Stardock Central hoping it would fix this issue -- no dice. Finally, dropped back to WindowFX 2.2 for shadows and using YzShadow for menu transparency and fade (which always seemed to work better than WindowFX despite being software dependent) and everything was looking and functioning fine once again (proper shadows on favorites menu and start menu).

WindowFX 3 would be a killer app if Stardock would just take the needed time to really polish it. From the 45 min I had it on, the new transitions give XP a good fighting chance against Vista for those seeking an instant upgrade on older machines.

Until then I'm staying away from WindowFX 3 (if it was anything more than &19, it be pretty ticked -- but going to hold on to my license just in case this gets fixed in later builds). For now, I'm sticking with WindowFX 2.2 w/ YzShadow on my machine.
