WDYT of this drop shadow?

Project Member Reported by dschuyler@chromium.org, Apr 12 2016

Issue description

Hi Alan,

I fixed the drop shadow to the header bar to show when the content 
scrolls.  It looks cool when the side nav is collapsed.  On other
pages where the side nave and content areas look more separate I
think it also looks cool.

We have the side nav and content area with the same background color.
So when the drop shadow appears, the left corner doesn't convey the
same illusion (of it being a shadow).

The screen shot attached shows the little corner that I'm talking 
about (in roughly the middle of the picture).  What do you think
of it (cool/uncool)?

as we talked about in person: uncool unless the background color of the content area differs.  if the background of the nav area differs from the content area, it's probably OK to /only/ have a shadow there, but I still think it's preferable to keep the current, whole-way-across-the-page shadow.
I thought it was likely to be uncool. :) It would have been better for me to 
ask which solution Alan prefers.

My concern with doing the shadow all the way across is that the side nav
doesn't scroll with the content, which may also be weird looking.

A vertical shadow or line appearing between the side nav and content 
area might also look good.

I was forwarded this demo that operates precisely how settings should. Let me know if you can gleam anything from this:

Thanks! That's really helpful.

This is obsolete. We do the side nav in a different way now.
