Shadow Shading
Plexious:
I think it would be great if shadows recolored according to transparent bricks light went through. Basically a red transparent brick would cast a red shadow. It would also be colored according to the alpha of the brick, seeing as some bricks have different alpha values. This would be multiplied by the default shadow colors. This would add a lot more lighting options when building.

why not get everyone support for shadows/shaders before we do anything special with them.

They work fine for me. Even with a bottle necked GPU.

Well there's the problem.
Seriously, why should special features and stuff be added for shadows and shaders before all the bugs and everything are worked out? Seems a bit backwards, don't you think?

Since the people that can run shaders out number the people that can't they shouldn't be penalized because people don't want to spend $40 on a Nvidia or AMD card.
