Thanks Marcello.
If the script had a preview image/screen, your examples would not have been necessary.

Wallace script-fu's do have the power of 'undo' though

You should keep in mind also that this shadow filter works best on caps or fonts that do not have p' , y's ,j's and the like lower than the rest of the letters. Otherwise the shadow effect doesn't look correct. The shadow should be darker and less blurred where the shadow begins and more translucent and blurred as the shadow progresses or stretches outward from the type.
You can also create a nice looking glass shadow effect with light in the center of the shadow. Such as when a glass has a shadow on a table.

This is what the filter was written for. Thanks again Graechan.

I would like to see this as a compiled C plug-in though and have a preview.

Here i have a 145 degree shadow flipped and used for a front (or rear) perspective.

Rod I did the best I could with the script-fu tools available.
Conbagui I'm glad you appreciate the script changes

Thank you SysTemX it's not perfect but at least it's better than the default
