here are the mac commands i use to fake a shadow:
apple-c (copy the piece you want a shadow of)
apple-b (paste that copy behind the original)
use the arrow key to move to desired position
change fill color to black, or darker version of original color,
reduce transparency to somewhere between 30 and 50.

hope that helps.
