What do you do when a drop shadow isn't realistic enough? Click and drag on the left top handle to match the angle on the road behind our model. Choose linear, foreground to background. Create a new Solid Layer by clicking on the Adjustment layer button at the bottom of the Layers panel and choose Color Fill. While -webkit-box-shadow should, in theory, work the same way that -moz-box-shadow does in Firefox, I’ve found that it’s not necessarily the case in practice, especially when using RGBA values for your color. Launch SolidWorks. Click on the program's 'Open' button. Locate the project you'd like to work with using the file explorer window that appears. Click 'Open.' Click on the SolidWorks' 'Tools' heading, and then click on the 'Options' heading in the context menu that appears beneath the heading.
While -webkit-box-shadow should, in theory, work the same way that -moz-box-shadow does in Firefox, I’ve found that it’s not necessarily the case in practice, especially when using RGBA values for your color. I’ve found that I’ve had to put the RGBA value first for Safari to pick it up (ironically, Chrome doesn’t seem to care). It seems, too, that the Webkit engine itself doesn’t support the Inset value yet, either (neither Chrome nor Safari display it). Hopefully, that will change, soon (from what I’ve been able to find, they’re still working the bugs out of the box-shadow support). Maybe we shouldn’t get too excited about IE 9, or thank Microsoft too soon.
Could be they have just created another hoop for us to jump through. IE 9 requires Vista as minimum, 64% of the user base for Windows is reported to be still running XP. Can we really expect people to possibly replace their entire system simply to get IE 9. The biggest hold up with Microsoft is that the browser is bundled so tightly to the Operating System, whereas all the other major browsers are less platform dependant and more easily upgraded to meet newer features. We’ve cursed IE 6 for a long time now, sadly we might be heading for a similar scenario with IE 7 and even IE 8. IE as a whole is below 50% marketshare now. If we remove the lagers such as ie6 that are pretty much there just to support legacy programs and take away ie7 which again is pretty much just there to support legacy programs and some lagers, then the actual market share of users on ie is around 36%.
Not sure if we really need to hang onto the must wait for ie bandwagon anymore especially with something that degrades gracefully in all versions of IE. Even my statistics for all my US based websites show IE falling off.
When we include the incredible growing marketshare of smartphone based browsers except win7phone the dominance of non css3 or html5 browsers (IE) drops even further. I can respect creating two stylesheets though, one for IE and one for all the others, but at the same time, my current thoughts are that ie is no longer the absolute dominant browser and that I dont have to design around it anymore. Just wanted to share something i noticed with box-shadows in Firefox (or probably any mozilla based browser).
If you use as a wrapper, give it a width, a bg(-color), 100% height and give it a box-shadow you will notice that the element doesn’t stretch completely to the bottom of the screen/browserwhat i’m trying to say is, it doesn’t “touch” the frame of the browser as it is supposed to when using 100% height. In Webkit based browsers it works as expected. It seems to be that Firefox makes room for the shadow.
My workaround is to apply a negative Y-offset to the shadow in Mozilla Browsers. The offset should be at least as big as the blur.moz-box-shadow: 0px -10px 10px #color; gives you a shadow on the right and on the left of the element, while the top and the bottom stretch completely to the edges of the browser. I hope it’s clear what i mean and it can avoid some confusion.
Yet another reply, I know, but the easiest way to achieve this CSS3 effect(although again, with its own drawback) is to just wrap your ‘shadowed’ element, the one with the box-shadow applied within a parent element with overflow:hidden set. This has a couple of big caveats: 1) its easier to do if you know the dimensions of your objects, which might not always be possible and 2) you need to add extra markup which is a pain.
Still, you might find yourself in situations where the extra markup is already there and for things like nav elements its more likely you know some of the dimensions anyway. The good thing about this technique is that it also degrades pretty well, whereas extra background images or custom graphical treatments probably wont and are more time consuming to generate. A lot of comments and people are concerned about the lack of ie support. Web pages DON’T need to look exactly the same in every browser. I know that may come as a shock but as devices, versions and variations expand it’s time to get out of the idea that webpages are static as print layout. So bottom line is if you want the shadow to show up the same in each version of IE cut the images, dust up your padding, margins, background-images, position:absolutes and z-indexes. There’s no easy way around it, otherwise use css3, modern browsers will get a modern experience and everyone else won’t know what they are missing.
Hi Chris, I really liked this tut & learned a lot. But I am having an issue, so I was wondering if you would be able to assist me please. The issue I am having is that I get a solid background color in IE 6, when I apply the shadow in an empty div. I also tried using CSS3Pie, it works fine in Firefox,Chrome & IE, but it just fills the div with a color even though the background color is not been set. I tried setting the background to none, and still it doesn’t work properly. So, if it’s possible please help me how to fix this issue.
Maybe I’ve been at it too long and I am missing something obvious but I was unable to get a solid box shadow (no blur) on Android (HTC Incredible 2.3.4 and Motorola Droid 1 2.2.3). This was not working: -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 4px red; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 4px red; box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 4px red; Setting the blur to 1px was the closest I could get to solid and still have it render on Android devices: -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 1px 4px red; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 1px 4px red; box-shadow: 0px 0px 1px 4px red; Hopefully this helps some other responsive developers! Unfortunately, at the moment css doesn’t give the option to assign a width and height to the box-shadow property.
Linear Solid Shadow Of The Model How To Check
It works in the same way as a border, wrapping itself around the outter edge of the element it is applied to. A solution that I would suggest to achieve what it is that you are looking for, is to create 3 divs within a container div, stacked horizontally as blocks. Make the top and the bottom div very small in height, and add the box shadow to the middle div. The top and the bottom div will effectively hide the box shadow, if your z-index is in the right configuration. You might need to alter the z-index slightly to get this to work.
