These materials are obsolete.  There are a number of more recent, more
powerful packages that have capabilities that greatly extend the
simple ones here.  A new project should use one of those.

These files only continue to be available to help people who are working
with an old project.  For more information on the commands available
using the materials here, see the file 1st_read.me.

Shaded theorems – Theorem environments that are shaded

Extends the \newtheorem command. If you say \newshadetheorem{theorem}{Theorem} in the preamble then your regular \begin{theorem} .. \end{theorem} will produce a theorem statement in a shaded box. It supports all the options of \newtheorem, including forms \newshadetheorem{..}[..]{..} and \newshadetheorem{..}{..}[..].

Environments declared using the package require their body to remain on one page; the mdframed package can frame and shade theorems, and its environments break at the end of a page; users are generally recommended, therefore, to use mdframed.

In the same spirit, the author told us in January 2020: “These materials are obsolete. There are a number of more recent, more powerful packages that have capabilities that greatly extend the simple ones here. A new project should use one of those. These files only continue to be available to help people who are working with an old project.”
