Example below: what I mean is shouldn't 1 be half-transparent like 2?
I have just noticed that on all my PCs in BG items shadow, which is visible when the item is picked up from inventory slot, is solid black, not transparent. This is so even for vanilla items, not only modded. I have a vague recollection that back then 15 years ago the shadows were actually, you know, shadows, much like the shadow cast by character paperdoll - transparent. Sadly, I'm also 15 years away from hardware for which BG was created, so I have no way of checking if current solid black shadow was there from the beginning or is a defect introduced by the modern hardware. Remember that topic of 2008 about NVidia cards introducing this and that graphical bugs - what if non-transparent item shadow in the inventory is like these bugs? Or may be it was so from the beginning... but then again, if that was so from the beginning, why does icon creation discussions always emphasize two special colours for transparent and black, surely if shadow was not supposed to be half-transparent but a solid black there wouldn't been need for a special colour to cover that?
