Comment 34 for bug 1019380

Since I haven't been able to figure out why alpha does or does not work on computers with almost identical software (I haven't done a thorough controlled experiment), I have decided to remove the "shadow" feature.

In the next version, the background will be flat, like in many of the patches and workarounds, and a new set of flat icons will complement the flat background. I will also replace the "fold" icon with something "flatter".

Given that "flat" is trendy, I anticipate that not a lot of users will mind this loss of functionality. I think the loss of this feature is definitely worth the benefits of this old bug being fixed.
