[Kde-games-devel] Lightened tile shadow for classic theme

[Robert Buchholz]

The new shadows look good to me. Good work.

By the way, I'm no artist myself, I actually suck at creating any original artwork. Fortunately, I'm halfway talented at tracing and editing other people's graphics (in this case the original Mahjongg bitmap tileset) using Inkscape. Bottom line: if you think there's something else to be improved in the tileset, you're probably right. Go ahead and change it, no need to ask me.

Regards,
Robert
