Is it possible to re-create the shadow effect of Yz'shadow?

I'm not really a skinner, more a skin user. A while ago, i found the little program Yz'Shadow. What it does is add a shadow border to every window that is created, like the way MacOS X has shadow borders around each window. The downside is: it is really slow because the window is first created by an application or the OS, and then Yz'Shadow creates the shadow border around it.

My questions:
-Is there a way to add this to a real skin? So the shadow is allready created, and is used to create the window, instead of applied afterwards.
-If it is possible to create such an effect, is it worth the time studying the skinning techniques used to create this effect? I mean: in MacOS, and with Yz'Shadow, you really get a 3D feeling. I would like to know in advance if the result will be what I am expecting, or not.
-Do you know of a skin, that allready has this 'feature'? It would be kinda useless to re-invent the wheel.

Thanks in advance for thinking.
