rounded corners and shadows

[Rares]

Hello,

I added the following to my .sty file:

\setbeamertemplate{blocks}[rounded=true,shadow=true]

but I cannot see any rounded corners or shadows. I zoomed-in and
looked closely as somebody suggested but I could not see anything.

Is there anything else I should be careful about? Any special package
parameters that might disable this?

Thanks,
Rares

Hi, it worked at least in our styles were we directly changed the
block colorboxes in our sty file, e.g.

\setbeamertemplate{block begin}{
\vskip.75ex
\begin{beamercolorbox}[rounded=true,shadow=true,leftskip=1cm,colsep*=.75ex]{block
title}%
\usebeamerfont*{block title}\insertblocktitle
\end{beamercolorbox}%
{\ifbeamercolorempty[bg]{block body}{}{\nointerlineskip\vskip-0.5pt}}%
\usebeamerfont{block body}%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[rounded=true,shadow=true,colsep*=.75ex,sep=.75ex,vmode]{block
body}%
\ifbeamercolorempty[bg]{block body}{\vskip-.25ex}{\vskip-.75ex}\vbox{}%
}
\setbeamertemplate{block end}{
\end{beamercolorbox}
}
