Shadows on Tasks vs. Milestones
Unlike other formatting properties in OnePager, drop shadows are considered a global property, so are not configurable for individual tasks and milestones. However, users can dictate whether shadows should apply to both tasks and milestones, tasks only, or milestones only. For example, users can turn on shadows on the Task Bars tab, but off on the Milestones tab of Chart Properties.
