Trying to draw `Text` with a horizontal gradient. After much trial and error, found that this works only if I specify `alpha = 0.99f` in the `graphicsLayer` (output in :thread:)

Can someone explain why? :confounded:

```Text(
    text = "$ 20",
    modifier = Modifier.graphicsLayer(alpha = 0.99f)
        .drawWithCache {
            val brush = Brush.horizontalGradient(listOf(StartColor, EndColor))
            onDrawWithContent {
                drawContent()
                drawRect(brush, blendMode = BlendMode.SrcAtop)
            }
        },
)```

Oh wow, I thought I was going crazy! Thanks :sweat_smile:

<@UJQF4NMPY> how'd this end up working for you. I got some acceptance criteria to build this out today and wanted to give your code a shot.

It worked: <https://github.com/drinkthestars/compose-lab/blob/b049a5b3bf8bed41e176c530736de9b09952f4da/app/src/main/kotlin/com/goofy/goober/composelab/casestudy/PlantApp.kt#L294-L301|https://github.com/drinkthestars/compose-lab/blob/b049a5b3bf8bed41e176c530736de9b0[…]c/main/kotlin/com/goofy/goober/composelab/casestudy/PlantApp.kt>
