Adding UX into the loop.
Comment 4 Heiko Tietze 2021-11-16 07:56:06 UTC 
The new effects are extensions to the file format and MSO Word, for example, cannot show glowing edges. Do we attach those at styles?
And the effects are not limited to Draw/Impress where we do have a drawing style but also available in Writer. Do we allow the border around paragraphs to glow? 

If yes, I suggest to have transparency, shadow, glow, and soft edge under one "Area Effects" tab. Challenging task.

Glow and Soft Edge added to the previously Shadows now Effects named tab.
Comment 6 Heiko Tietze 2022-06-23 10:02:25 UTC 
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

A question was whether we can omit the "Enabled" checkbox for shadow in favor of 
zero distance (similar to the other options). But that makes it impossible to quickly switch on/off with a default. And in the end we could also introduce the checkbox at Glow and Soft Edge.
