Disable Toolbar Shadow in Aero

I had been using Aero Basic but felt like a change, so I went up to Aero for
a while.
I had a toolbar docked on the left hand side of my screen (approximately 100
pixels wide) and have set it to Always-On-Top with autohide disabled (thus
the toolbar always shows no matter what).

Upon switching to Aero, the toolbar now displays a shadow which extends
approximately 10 pixels onto anything to the right. It truly does feel like
the toolbar is "on top" of everything else, but I really just want it to be
visible and not render its shadow.

I know it's a very minor issue, but it's bothersome nonetheless.

Hi Austin,

You will just need to uncheck one of the "Shadow" options for the menus
in the Visual Effects Options window to get rid of the shadow. You can
see how here if needed.
