Anti aliasing is for Wimps!

Anti-Aliasing is at least overrated and really is not necessary to produce
a good graphic is this situation as clear sharp edges are being used.
There really is no need for more than one channel of transparency as the
drop shadow is solid black and hard edged and does not need different
amounts of transparency.

Using a 1x1 pixel image for the background sounds like far easier
solution anyway.
