width

shadow_type
Specifies the kind of shadow to render. The possible values are as follows:

XmSHADOW_IN
Draws shadow so that it appears inset. This means that the bottom shadow visuals and top shadow visuals are reversed.

XmSHADOW_OUT

XmSHADOW_ETCHED_IN
Draws shadow by using a double line to give the effect of a line etched into the window. The thickness of the double line is equal to the value of shadow_thickness.
