Guide

ComposeShadowsPlus provides two custom shadow Modifiers: RSBlurShadow and SoftLayerShadow

ComposeShadowsPlus common params:

ShadowsPlusDefaults contains default values of custom shadows.

You can use Modifier.shadowsPlus(...) to set the custom shadows with the ShadowsPlusType enum.

RSBlurShadow

RSBlurShadow uses RenderScript and ScriptIntrinsicBlur to blur the shadow content to simulate the shadow.

RSBlurShadow more params:

To apply RSBlurShadow use Modifier.rsBlurShadow(...).

SoftLayerShadow

SoftLayerShadow uses NativePaint.setShadowLayer(...) to apply the native shadow layer to the shadow content.

To render SoftLayerShadow, Android devices with API < 28(P), need to use View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE. It’s recommended to use SoftLayerShadowContainer to handle this automatically.

To apply SoftLayerShadow use Modifier.softLayerShadow(...).
