@tinodin Does the composition shadow not meet your needs?

@ghost1372 Only if it is able to adapt to the colors of the content near the edges and not use one predefined color everywhere. Look closely at the image I uploaded

[ghost1372]

Well, you can extract the color from the image yourself. Here’s a great example—it does the main job. You only need the color.

It seems like AccentAnalyzer only gets the Color palette and makes a gradient of it which is different from just the edge colors.

Does composition shadow even supports gradients / multiple colors.
I think it would be fitting for Composition Shadow to just automatically get the colors of the edges.

[ghost1372]

By default, CompositionShadow only supports a single solid-color— no gradients or multi-color effects.
To achieve gradient-like or color-sampling effects, mybe you can feed a special mask into the shadow.

@tinodin This isn’t something I plan to implement in CompositionShadow, but I found it interesting — and at least, it’s something I can do for a loyal user like you.😅

You should first enable it by:
UseEdgeColorFromImage
and then provide image uri/filepath
ImageSourceForEdgeColor
