I’m making an app in compose - and the designs use these shadows in many places, where they surround the outside of the component and then fade. What is the best way to achieve this in Compose?

Check the Composable "Card"

That’s what I’m using now. All that I can do with that is play with

elevation

. It doesn’t match the shadow.

Maybe you can look at Card internals to see how they achieve that look, and then create your own composable with more parameters 😉

😄

There's this gist https://gist.github.com/cedrickring/0497965b0658d6727aaec531f59e8c5c suggesting how you can draw your own shadows. Also, I'd just use elevation and ignore the design requirements 😈
