Description george 2024-11-17 12:25:42 UTC
Description:
While it is very easy in Libre Draw to add soft shadows (from sidebar) to both images and shapes this is not that case in libre writer: It is possible for shapes, but not from sidebar (why?), only from context menu --> area --> shadow tab. However, it is impossible for images. There is no way to add soft shadow, only "old fashioned 1990's" style shadow.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.add an image to the document
2. there is no "shadow" option in the sidebar
3. only through right click --> properties --> borders you can find an "old school shadow" with no option to blur in order to create soft shadow

For shapes
1) add shape
2) there is no shadow option in side bar
3) you need to go from context menu --> area --> shadow tab to apply soft shadow (with blur option)

Actual Results:
As described I can't add soft shadow (blurred) to an image

Expected Results:
I should be able to add soft shadow (blurred) to an image


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
The "soft shadow" software module is working perfectly in libre draw, therefore it should be not a problem to implement it to libre writer's sidebar also.
