anicursorgen: change default shadow color (1.86 KB, patch)
2016-03-03 09:25 UTC, LRN 		committed Details | Review

Description LRN 2016-03-03 09:25:37 UTC 
Turns out, making the shadow grey was not a good move. Go figure.

How to reproduce:
* Load up an Adwaita cursor
* Move the mouse over some black window (like a console)

Expected result (how default W32 cursor looks):
* Shadow should be impossible to see over black window

Actual result (how Adwaita cursor with generated shadow looks):
* Shadow is clearly-visible and is grey over black window

anicursorgen: change default shadow color

0x80808080 was a mistake, it produces good-looking shadow on white
background, but doesn't work as intended on darker backgrounds.
Instead of making the shadow gray and 50% opaque,
make it completely black, but only 25% opaque. This way it still
looks appropriately-grey on white background, but quickly fades
to black as the background gets darker. Or, to put it another way,
it doesn't lighten dark backrounds.
