Coloured Drop Shadows

Hot on the heels of David's drop shadows patch, MacSlow (of SkyDome fame) has released a patch to change the colour of the shadows.

Here's a patch (against compiz from CVS-head about 30 min. ago) that
adds a shadow_color option to the parameters of the decoration-plugin.
(snip)
The only thing missing is the compiz.schema. I
dare not touch that XML-file manually. So after you applied the patch,
recompiled compiz and restarted g-w-d and compiz you'll have to fire up
gconf-editor and add a string-parameter with the name shadow_color
yourself.

You can use the normal HTML-like syntax for defining the wanted color:

#fff or #ffffff -> white
#f00 or #ff0000 -> red
#f73 or #ff7733 -> orange

Finally, here's a screenshot to show you how careful you should be with
chosing your new shadow_color :)

And he really isn't kidding!
