Sorry, I don't understand the english of that last sentence.

Mmm, no color thanks. It depends too much on the desktop color theme.

*You* see a button effect. *I* don't see it. It's just a matter of how 
your brain and my brain interpret an optic illusion.

The shadow means that the GridView inner pass "under" the headers. 
Something like that:



          (1)                      (2)
          ------      (3)       ------
               .=--------------=.
              /  _            _  \
           |  | / \          / \ |  |
           |  \___/          \___/  |
           \                        /
            `--->              <---'


(1) Left border
(2) Right border
(3) Inner canvas

The equal signs is the shadow.

"No shadow" means that we are at one end of the "roller".

I need more testimonies to know if you are the only one that don't see 
the inner inside the borders but outside. Otherwise I can't take a decision.
