Automatically draw shadows

It would be awesome if WatchMaker could automatically draw shadows below each shape and text element making up the watchface, without the designer having to manually create these.

The only thing the designer would need to do is to select the "Throw shadow" checkbox for the element and adjust the additional "Z Height" property (in pixels). The higher the Z value, the farther the shadow is offset on the lower elements.

The direction of the shadows would be a global vector. This could be a fixed direction, but it would be even more sweet to animate that vector, based on time of day, or better, the gyroscope, so that the shadows move as you tilt your wrist.
Also the softness of the shadows would be a global setting.
