tauri-plugin-shadows

Add native shadows to your Tauri/TAO windows.

Platforms Notes

• Only Windows and macOS are supported, Linux shadows are controlled by the compositor installed on the user system and they can enable it for your app if they want.
• On Windows, shadows can't be turned off on a regular(decorated) window.

Installation

Add it as a dependncy in Cargo.toml of your Tao/Tauri project

[dependencies]
tauri-plugin-shadows = { git = "https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri-plugin-shadows", features = ["tauri-impl"] }

You also need to use Tauri/TAO from github using the next branch (Only until the next release of Tauri).

Crate Features:

• tauri-impl: for Tauri projects.
• tao-impl: for TAO projects.

Usage

Import the Shadows trait and use set_shadow() on your window type

• Tauri:

  let window = app.get_window("main").unwrap();
  
  use tauri_plugin_shadows::Shadows;
  window.set_shadow(true);
  

• Tao:

  let window = WindowBuilder::new().with_transparent(true).build(&event_loop).unwrap();
  
  use tauri_plugin_shadows::Shadows;
  window.set_shadow(true);
