dropshadow

I'm working on an app that uses a custom image for UINavigationBar and UIToolbar, which is fine, but they also need a drop shadow below the nav bar and above the toolbar, which would always rest above all other view controllers. I cannot simply make background images which include the shadows as this would not work well with my tableviews. I also need the shadows animate away when I set nav bar and tool bar to hidden (animated). I've looked through Stack Overflow and other sources on the net, and have worked through the proposed solutions but I cannot successfully subclass UINavigationBar,

I am trying to add a drop shadow to a UIImage view. I get a shadow but it is clipped to the edges of the image view and I am not sure why since I correctly set the uiimageview.clipsToBounds to NO. Below is the code: -(void)addShadow { UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.frame.size); CGContextRef myContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); float myColorValues[] = {0, 0, 0, darkness};// 3 CGColorRef myColor;// 4 CGColorSpaceRef myColorSpace; CGContextSaveGState(myContext);// 6 myColorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB ();// 9 myColor = CGColorCreate (myColorSpace, myColorValues);// 10

Looking at a Windows tooltips class hint window, i see that it draws its drop-shadow outside the hint window's actual rectangle. Using SpyXX - i can get the tooltip's window rect, and class styles: Rectangle: (440, 229)-(544, 249), 104x20 Restored Rect: (440, 229)-(544, 249), 104x20 Client Rect: (0, 0)-(104, 20), 104x20 You'll notice that the drop shadow you see is physically outside the window that's being drawn. How can i draw a shadow outside around my window, while being outside my window? Note : The shadow is not drawn using the standard CS_DROPSHADOW class style. i've confirmed this

I have been ripping my hair out over this issue, I want a simple shadow that does around the whole element, besides for the top. I got it to work in Firefox and Chrome with no problem. But IE has this weird "direction" setting where as the other as 4 numbers to define the shadow. Can someone help me define the right CSS so that it will have a shadow around the whole element besides the top. /* For Firefox and Chrome */ -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 7px #000; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 7px #000; box-shadow: 0px 0px 7px #000; /* for IE */ -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow

I've observed that applying a DropShadowEffect to a UIElement sporadically causes the UIElement's content to blur a bit. It's a pretty nasty effect: it can cause a photograph to look out of focus or worse- make an entire 'popup' region completely illegible. I haven't seen anyone else complaining about this, so my inclination is to think that there is something that I am doing wrong. Sample use (blurs content at random): <Border> <Border.Effect> <DropShadowEffect /> </Border.Effect> <!-- (Content) --> </Border> But removing the DropShadowEffect clears it up: <Border> <!--<Border.Effect>

How can i remove the drop shadow of action bar from java code ?. If i remove from the style it is working fine. <style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock"> .... <item name="windowContentOverlay">@null</item> <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item> .... </style> But i need to remove and add it dynamically from java code. erakitin There is no way to set value for windowContentOverlay attribute programmatically. But you can define two different themes, one for Activities with a visible ActionBar shadow and one for others: <!-- Your main theme with ActionBar shadow. --> <style
