Key features

  • Setting Shadow Color: Although in most cases shadows are of black color, RadShadow exposes a Color property, so you can easily add color to the shadow effect.

  • Defining Transparency: Through the ShadowOpacity property you can set the transparency-level of the shadows you’re using.

  • Defining Shadow Position: RadShadow provides OffsetX and OffsetY properties used to define its position relative to the UI it wraps around. You can practically place the shadow in every direction according to the design requirements you have.

  • Applying Corner Radius: You can apply a corner radius to the shadow to make it consistent to the view it wraps around. With the help of CornerRadius property you can soften the view’s edges and make them look more natural.

  • Applying Blur Radius: Through the BlurRadius property you can adjust the blur level to make the shadow look softer.
