Is .shadow somehow stretching with the size of the component?

Column {
            Box(modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp).size(width = 800.dp, height = 200.dp).shadow(4.dp).background(Color.White))
            Box(modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp).size(width = 1600.dp, height = 200.dp).shadow(4.dp).background(Color.White))
        }

I thought it was related to the ambient and spot color parameters, but it isn't. Changing them has no impact?

this isn't an order of modifiers thing is it?

[Arjan van Wieringen]

I checked, and no. Ordering the modifiers doesn't matter.

I think the shadow is calculated based on some kind of virtual sun light. And when the edge moves away from the center the shadow gets bigger.

Yup, that’s the spotlight parameter. But the ambient parameter doesn’t do anything
