Ah, perfect! That makes clear how they solved the issue in the mail I've mentioned (sent on the Design list) - it was about how they get the naturally "shadowed" edges: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/design/msg01571.html > > > > * A more attractive document background is still desirable --> > > can we go with a gradient in the next step? > > I think we'll have to test how gradients can be used to get a nice > background.

And since we now have the shadow picture, we might even tweak it without that much issues. One last thing - I apologize for the quality of some of my mails. I don't know why, but I tend to reply to your posts at the end of my (LibO) day ...
