Drop-Shadow effect for UI elements

I mean, most approaches to drop shadow often rely on a rectangle with the sides blurred out.
TDS does this perfectly though, and it looks good.

Eh, if we had a native way of doing this we can avoid having the actual frame being visible under the window.

theres no “good” way to make ui blurred but there are relatively simple ways to create dropshadows

We’re still waiting for this matter.

I’m bumping this thread so ROBLOX will see! Please add this in, you have UIGradient, UIStroke but no shadow!! So many will benefit from this.

Bump.

Currently, I have to make multiple image of different corner radius using a slice just for a drop shadow; it’s annoying.

Did you know Roblox did this internally as well? When they made the mobile app entirely luau-based they wanted drop shadows for their UI elements too, so they made an image for the shadow and used slice.

Earliest archive I can find online of this. It’s named “gr-shadow”

If I’m not mistaken they also did this for the old Xbox One menu and the old settings menu.
