say I would like to make the contents of a composable all have an alpha of 0.5 if the active flag is false, and 1 if it’s true, is there a nicer way to do it than adding alpha = if (active) 1f else 0.5f to each composable inside?

Does setting Modifier.alpha(if (active) 1f else 0.5f) on the parent works?

[oday]

lol my bad, nevermind i thought something different

[oday]

yea, nope, that makes the white look …well, out of alpha, I want the elements inside only to have this effect, not the whole row

[Luke]

Can you add another layout layer to host the alpha?

[oday]

That's smart

CompositionLocalProvider for LocalContentAlpha is probably what you want - see example here
