Firstly I would like to say thanks to developers and praise website X5. It trully is a quick and simple website creation package that has made things so much easier, removing the need to manually code all websites.

However, sadly I find myself frustrated with a simple and annoying limitation that has been driving me crazy for a while, the problem can't be disabled and I feel it hinders the ability to make different more versatile websites.

If you create a gallery with thumbnails using a custom image style (frame) could future releases have the option to turn the dropshadow off? I have used a custom frame with rounded corners but when X5 creates the thumbnails it automatically applies a square dropshadow inside it.

I originally thought this was a Javascript or CSS code that I could create a patch for . Unfortunatly I discovered it is a feature built in to the X5 programming which applies the dropshadow when creating a new new thumbnail image by combining the selected images and the custom frame. Oddly the dropshadow has only applied to the thumbnails and not the large image.

By making the dropshadow optional it would mean websites could have a variety of new frames applied to match a required theme, for example dripping blood at holloween to plain and simple rounded corners; or you could have it applied using CSS which would mean the dropshadow could be customised to fit squares with or without rounded corners or even circles:

div{
height:200px;
width:200px;
-moz-border-radius: 100px;
border-radius: 100px;
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 0 5px 5px #888;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 5px 5px#888;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 5px 5px #888;
}

It would certainly take x5 one step closer to becoming a limitless site development program.
