Chrome is using Skia text rendering which causes the various issues. I suspect 
the only option here is to disable it in gdipp.

Workaround worked for me. 
Edit C:\Program Files(x86)\gdipp_setting.xml and add a line 

<process>chrome\.exe</process> 

in the <exclude> section to disable gdipp rendering when using chrome.

Then reboot or
Run services.msc, find the 32 and 64 bit instances of gdipp and restart each 
one.

This was done on Win7 Pro x64 and gdipp 0.9.1 x64

@VEZam

That's not a workaround you idiot. That's the same thing as disabling gdipp and 
calling it a "workaround".

Not that I use Chrome or ever would install spyware, but I just wanted to point 
that out.

What eloquence! Your unbiased, respectful, and collected nature drives me to 
want to hear more.

Anyway, I would consider that to be a workaround. It doesn't necessarily solve 
the issue, but it is a way to work around parts it. It at least solves the 
problem of illegible shadowed text.
