My impression on drop shadows before was that, it's done with images having drop shadows already. Until I found out that you could create drop shadows using plain CSS. How do you create drop shadows though in Qt stylesheet?
Here's the syntax for applying a CSS drop-shadow. filter: drop-shadow(offset-x offset-y blur-radius color); There are a wide range of filter functions including blur( ), brightness( ), and drop-shadow( ). offset-x determines the horizontal distance and offset-y determines the vertical distance.
CSS Demo: drop-shadow() A drop shadow is effectively a blurred, offset version of the input image's alpha mask, drawn in a specific color and composited below the image. Note: This function is somewhat similar to the box-shadow property.
Qt allows you to decorate your Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) using a style sheet language called Qt Style Sheets, which is very similar to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) used by web designers to decorate their websites.
A drop shadow is a visual effect in graphic design where one draws a copy of an object in black or gray in a slightly different position to look like the object's shadow. This effect gives the effect of elevating the object above those behind it.
For QFrame you can set the frameShadow property, but not via CSS. QGraphicsView has the QGraphicsDropShadowEffect class. In a QWebView you can use all CSS effects, but only be using CSS stylesheet in the content.
