The following is the minimum code needed to produce a shadow.

   <v:rect
   fillcolor="green"
   style="position:relative;top:1;left:1;width:50;height:50">
   <v:shadow on="True"/>
   </v:rect>

You may not notice the shadow unless you increase the Offset values, since the default offset is 2pt,2pt.
