ISSUE-41: Extend 'box-shadow' to specify the "spread" of the shadow
shadow spread
Extend 'box-shadow' to specify the "spread" of the shadow
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- CSS3 Backgrounds and Borders
- Raised by:
- Bert Bos
- Opened on:
- 2008-05-12
- Description:
- Eli Morris-Heft summarized in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008May/0094.html some ideas (from Brad Kemper and others) for extending 'box-shadow' (and 'text-shadow'?):
1) An optional fourth <length> value can make the shadow larger (or smaller), as if the shadow was cast not by the box itself, but by a box that is that much bigger on all sides. This is the "spread." (Such a spread seems most useful to increase the effect of a "glow," less so for a shadow.)
An image http://www.doublefishstudios.com/~dai/boxes.png shows the intended effects. - Related Actions Items:

For the record, the first one to suggest "spread" seems to have been "Blueberry" in http://www.w3.org/mid/5C8F2B19-1140-4EAD-B9DB-E5886E32DD72@creativepony.com
