I like http://xs233.xs.to/xs233/08455/main_box1693.png (http://xs.to) to have the shadow that looks like the one in http://xs233.xs.to/xs233/08455/main_box2295.png (http://xs.to) .

Can you help me with putting the shadow? :)

After a simple googling, I found this tutorial on adding "drop shadows" to images. I would of attempted to do it myself, but I cannot download the image you provided. Anywho, here's the link: Drop Shadow tutorial (http://www.tankedup-imaging.com/gimp/drop-shadow.html). Hope that's helpful.

Oh. I just saw downloaded both images. I tried that howto too but it made another layer so the transparency is lost. I'll settle with eightmillion's. Thanks anyway :)

Oh oops!

I didn't realize you wanted to keep the transparency. Anywho, it was interesting playing around with GIMP. Take care!
