A frame holding items pasted into it (Edit › Paste Into) was drawn by
its own branch in draw_item that skipped every effect: Basic Feather,
Inner Glow, shadows and the rest were stored but never drawn. LYH Studio
episode 14 (11:51) gives the outlined "GET MORE." title, with a photo
pasted into it, an Inner Glow and a Basic Feather.
Such a frame now goes the way of any other object: draw_body draws its
fill, its items clipped to the frame and its stroke, so draw_item_fx
wraps all of it. Its silhouette counts as solid for shadow spread.

Object > Effects (Transparency..., Drop Shadow... and the rest, and their
shortcuts) and the Effects panel's fx button open the Effects dialog on
the chosen effect, turned on: the effect list with checkboxes on the left
and a summary line, the chosen page's settings on the right in the
document's units (Blending, Position with X/Y offsets, Options...),
Preview on the page while it is open, Cancel putting the page back, and
OK as one undo step.
- engine: object.effects {effects (merged, kept in range), opacity, blend}
- doc: drop and inner shadows default to InDesign's 120 degree light
- ui: dialogs::cancel (a previewing dialog reverts)
