Icon drop-shadows

Notes may cast a shadow when drawn on maps.

The following new attributes control the appearance of shadows:

Shadow (boolean): if true, a shadow is drawn
ShadowDistance (number): the offset of the shadow
ShadowBlur (number): the blurriness of the shadow
ShadowColor (color): the hue of the shadow

On very large maps (and/or less powerful computers) it can help with performance of Map view is shadows are disabled by setting Shadow to 'false'. There's no preference to do this app/TBX-wide but stamps to agents can help. With agents consider use of the #isInside() and #isDescendedFrom() queries with at OnAdd action of Shadow=false. To reverse the setting use the same query but with Shadow=true.
