Do you want the glass to use refraction or transparency?
Refractive lenses cast a shadow. Transparency-based lenses do the right thing with shadows, but they can't color what you see through them. Strongly colored glasses are more realistic using a refractive shader. But you can fake colors with the trasnsparent ones, too, using diffuse. I have both kinds.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
