Yes better but i still see the button effects on the browse area, i suggest
you to:
- always create the left shadow
- always to not create the right and bottom shadow
if you want sunken effects on data canvas area to control the browse of
data we can already have the right and lower slidebar

I know you want use shadow also to show to the user the end of data but
personally i thing it conflict a bit with embossed effect you want to
create to the data browsing area.

So might be using different graphic effect to evidentiate the boundaries
field column of data is better. Might be a color gradient on the data
column can be better...

I have an idea (see attached to show the top of and leftmost boundary of
data) simply with some one pixel colored line...

Hope this helps
Marco
