Liddell Visually I prefer the CSS shadow. However, in all honesty when I first read Alexandre's description I envisioned something more like the reflection shown below the icon in this image: http://rtg.in.ua/galleries/mythtv/mythtv-screen.jpg We could tone down the reflection a bit and make the horizontal line more prominent; this would also help segment the page a bit so that the screenshot isn't running into the news as much, Thoughts on whether this is a good idea or terrible?
