Drop shadows for Studio library

[Lawrence Smith]

I like this thinking but I’d like to see it taken to the next level.  I do this sort of thing in Swift all the time using extensions or subclassing.  I can create an extension to a class (like a text field) and add functions and computed properties to the extension and set attributes as I need them at runtime (a Decorator pattern).  I’d love to see this in Studio.  I’d also love to see the equivalent of Java interfaces or Swift protocols/delegates but that’s another discussion…

In this way, you could allow users to set the colors and style for any type of object from a preferences pane.
