Comment on Strange behavior of DropShadowEffect by Pedro Pombeiro

Hmm, I can understand there is a technical reason behind the behavior, but I think this is one of those cases which would warrant a change of behavior to avoid this trap. I don’t think anyone would want (or expect) this behavior by default.

Not totally strange. When an effect is applied, your visual is rendered to an offscreen surface, and the shader is then applied to that texture.

One consequence of rendering to a texture is that ClearType is not applied and text falls back to anti-aliased mode (much thicker and blurry).

I had that problem myself and solved it just the same: overlay one visual with the drop shadow and another with the actual _crisp_ content.

Hopefully WPF 4 will make things better (I haven’t tested that yet, but you can selectively force ClearType where WPF would disable it by default – that is when rendering to an offscreen surface).

Comment on Migrating TFS projects from one template to another by Pedro Pombeiro

Hi, thanks for your interest.

The tool that I made is heavily focused on moving from LW Scrum template to Conchango template, and has some hardcoded rules specific to our situation (I did not spend any time trying to make it generic). Let me know if you are still interested.

@Timothy Khouri If you want to fade something in, you would animate the Opacity property to reach the desired effect.
