TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
After perusing the manual at the link Jim sent, and as an owner of an
Intel-based Mac Pro desktop running Mac OS X 10.4, I'd have to say that
the drop shadows represented in that manual are indeed present in the
operating system versus something added in document production. There
are a couple of exceptions, specifically iChat (I can't recall the other
one I saw it in), but I'm thinking that was simply from taking screen
shots and using those in the manual.
Thanks much,

What is shadowed are any pop-up windows that appear on those landing
screens.

It appears, from looking at the PDF, that those drop shadows are
actually part of the GUI, not something added in document production.
