Ah, I understand now. That gimped version finally caused the coin to drop.
Thanks. And yes, in retrospect, that's probably what Thomas meant as well. I had
been trying to fake a shadow of the horizontal top bar, as to me that seemed to

confusing. So I assume the attached image is more to your liking?
