I have a layout with 3 children.
Is there a way to achieve this mask effect, where is something drawn in 1st child is not clipped and can be continued in 2nd child, but is clipped out in parent?
I know i can draw it in 2 parts, in 1st and 2nd child. But the goal is to avoid that, so that nothing extra on 2nd child is needed

easiest way IMO. note that I think you will need to move the item being drawn out of the first box in order for the drawing order to be correct

Thanks!
That almost what im looking for.
The reason that item is in first box, as this mechanism supposed to let some element to be highlighted by glow/shadow, and that glow/shadow can reflect on next boxes

[raenardev]

for the drawing order to be correct

That is the other issue im facing, yes, as box2 draws over content that overlaps from box1

[ephemient]

you could change box1's zIndex if you really need it inside box1

[raenardev]

Thanks, yeah.
But i think there is no way out of using some divider between boxes:
if that star is inside box1, then it i can't really do any mask magic to make background overlap on star, since the star is also a part of box and doing so will overlap on box also

[raenardev]

So i do not see a way to make background and boxes to be a separate "layers" while allowing boxes "layer" to have things overlapping
