UI tweaks

-Removed shadows from most UI items. The shadow settings are unfortunately not really useful, because you can't set them for individual items. There was a lot of black text with black shadows, which really only makes the text look fuzzy. For shadows to improve clarity, they should be the opposite color of the text label, not the same color.

-Tweaked material layout, with clearer grouping in Ray Mirror and Ray Transparency panels.

-Added icons in the texture type menu to signify which textures are procedural and which ones are images, and plugins.
