Unordered lists broken
After nearly 10 years of usage, I upgraded this skin to the most recent version, which broke all unordered lists. I think style.css should read:
#contentleft ul{
list-style-type: square;
margin: 0 0 0 20px;
padding: 0 0 10px 0;
/* float:right; */
}
Regards, Heinz
Dmitry Khramov. This skin is great! But I have one problem with it. I place some code in my wiki in [@...@] environment. After Drop Shadow installation characters '\n' in code are replaced by 'n' after saving. How can I repair it?
Closed Questions
vspace margins
Status: Issue fixed 2.2.1
Farvardin, 27. July 2011:: Hello, this a great, clean theme. I'd suggest to add into style.css this:
.vspace { margin-top:1.2em; }
This way lists which had been separated by users with an empty line, will look so, i.e.:
- my list
- second item
- another list (which shouldn't be close to the first one)
- another item
- and a last one.

CSS fix for different colors
Status: Issue fixed 2.2.1
Thibault Helleputte, 29 March 2011 Hello Dave, thank you for this very cool skin. I noticed that in color-green.css, color-orange.css, color-red.css and color-yellow.css, the last definition should be changed to:
#sidebar li.sfhover, #sidebar li:hover, .headerright a:hover
as it is already the case in color-blue.css. Without this fix, only the strings in the menu ar backlit, not the whole cell. Thanks.

Set $WikiText-empty-bug
Status: Issues resolved
MatthiasGünther, 31 August 2009: Hello Dave: I want to set just a Page-Logo without the $WikiText but if I'm doing this, the Page-Logo goes away. If I set some text in $WikiText everything works, but I don't want the Page-Logo with the text. One solution is a css-hack to set the color of the $Wikitext black but it's no good solution. Do you have another idea how to solve this issue?
31-Aug-2009 DaveG: I think you mean $WikiTitle, rather than $WikiText? If so, pretty much the only way right now is to:
$WikiTitle = ' ';
I'll implement a more robust solution in a future revision.
MatthiasGünther, 31 August 2009: This works fine, thanks for your help.
HTMLFooterFmt
Status: Fix implemented
IDB, 2 April 2009: Hi Dave: I have just found that DropShadow doesn't have the <!--HTMLFooter--> directive included, introduced in v2.1.16:
<!--HTMLFooter--> directive into skin templates, which allows recipes and local customizations to insert output near the end of a document using a $HTMLFooterFmt array from PHP.
Could you include this in the skin.tmpl file next time you do an update of the skin? This way, I won't overwrite my customisation of your skin. :-)
DaveG, 2-April 2009: Oddly enough I'm working on a new skin, and came across this yesterday as well. I didn't realize there was a new directive. Thanks for the heads-up, and I'll add it to the next release.
IDB, 7 April 2009: Ta muchly. It's a minor thing (not really a bug), but useful to have
How do I add another Sidebar?
Status: Problem closed
26-Mar-2009 RGS?: Hi, can you tell me how I can add another SkinSidebar below the default one? Thanks
26-Mar-2009 DaveG: DropShadow will search for three types of side bar in this order: {$Group}.SideBar, then {$SiteGroup}.SideBar (usually Site.SideBar, and if neither of those are found, the it will use {$SiteGroup}.DropShadow-SideBar, either the one that comes with DropShadow, or one that you've edited or modified.
26-Mar-2009 RGS: Thanks for the input. I was referring to Site.SkinSidebar. I was able to modify it, but failed to add the "extensions"that appear in the screenshot above. Do you follow? Thanks!
28-Mar-2009 DaveG: Sorry, I'm not following you; it sounds like you got it working though. If not, give me a little more info, and I'll try to help out.
CSS Syntax Error
Status: Fix implemented
IDB, 4 March 2009: Have found a slight error in the dropshadow/style.css file. Around lines 335-338, you have
#searchdiv{
margin: 0;
padding; 0;
}
I think the semi-colon after padding should be a colon.
DaveG, 4-Mar-2009: You are correct, thanks for letting me know. How'd you find that?!
IDB, 4 March 2009: using Firefox with the Web Developer extension: I got a list of errors up for my Website, which highlighted various CSS problems, one of which was to do with DropShadow. :-)
