I've been searching, but I can't seem to locate a post that explained how to do an OSD type drop shadow text effect...

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Dear Jeff Main,

I was looking for the thread

Oh! I borrowed most of the code from the following Topic.

How to Display Shadowed Text in a GUI ?
http://www.autohotke...pic.php?t=86414

I was not sure of whether this was the thread. I tried searching for OSD+Drop+Shadow... I could not trace it and thought I should post the altered+borrowed code..

That was the thread! Thank you so very much!!!

Such a wealth of information in that thread!

Thanks for sharing! 8)
