I'm getting weird shadow for dark theme, any ideas?

Column(modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp)) {
        Surface(
            elevation = 10.dp,
            modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(),
        ) {
            Text(text = "Test")
        }
    }

the shadow I think is a natural consequence of using elevation!

I know, I want shadow 🙂

[Peter Mandeljc]

just dark theme shadow is weird, dunno

What do you mean by ‘shadow’, do you mean the elevation overlay?

Check the elevation section

[Peter Mandeljc]

no, not the surface overlay (tough I'd prefer to avoid it, not sure how yet)

[Louis Pullen-Freilich [G]]

You can use LocalElevationOverlay, and provide null

The shadow itself seems weird, is there any transparency involved here?

[Peter Mandeljc]

not that I'm aware of

[Peter Mandeljc]

the shadow gets fixed, after I resize window of emulator to be larger, weird

thanks for helping!
