First, thank you for the feedback. I'll be back coding it today and
hopefully I'll have a proper shadow working later on taking note of the
text's color.

I agree with the bloating of the configuration panels. I also think that
is not such a good ideea to let the user customise the appearance too
much, since I see this option as a "one off" (probably included in a
theme or something (i.e. hidden) rather than totally configurable by a
dialog box)

Now I'd appreciate some input on how you see the "selected" effect to
be, as I'd like to offer them as package. Try select a desktop icon
(click/drag) and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks again,

Laur
