Topic: GTK text shadows - how to?

I'm working on a GTK theme mainly based on the Industrial engine and I'm trying to figure out a way to get text shadows, for all text. It's possible with the Murrine engine, but by using that I get a load of other stuff I don't want. I think it might be possible since insensitive buttons and menu items have a white bottom right shadow, just like I want for the rest of the text. So I'm trying here to see if anyone of you know a way to get this done.

I'm not 100% sure, but I had read somewhere that only murrine has such an option, and it made the theme much slower when used. Like I said though I haven't tested it myself.

Re: GTK text shadows - how to?

Ah, that's what I was afraid of. Any idea how I can get only the text shadows from the Murrine engine?

When I use this markup in my "default" class, which is inherited by pretty much all other classes, I get a lot of other Murrine effects that I don't want.

engine "murrine" 
{
    textstyle = 2
}

What I mean is basically to "extract" the text_shade property from Murrine.
