The Dink Network

Is there an easy, non-fiddly way to add shadows to a Dink graphic?

The short answer is no. The long answer is nooooooo.

*Swears*

If you had a paintshop program, you could add shadows
with it. It would still take time but it would work.

But the shadows (most) programs create/use are a simple matter of transperency, and since Dink doesn't support *.png files (or any other alpha channel using graphic format), it would just come out as a weird white splodge...

Check out this file. It is not super simple, but it does show how to create a decent shadow that Dink will be able to use, with just a simple editing program.

Select that shade, and replace it with a checkered pattern, as the shadows are in Dink.

Beauty in simplicity!
