SUPERBITMAP doesn't solve this, since the SUPERBITMAP isn't always up to
date with the screen image. You would have to make the window a BACKDROP
window and WindowToBack it behind the workbench. That would force the
layers library to update the SUPERBITMAP...

You'd be better off maintaining your own shadow bitmap or use ReadPixel.
