The CSS3 draft allows a shadow to be defined with four parameters -
distanceX, distanceY, color and blur radius. Instead of specifying the
x and y offset separately, we thought it made more sense to specify a
distance and angle (in degrees).
I propose exposing these four properties as separate view attributes
(shadowdistance, shadowangle, shadowcolor and shadowblurradius) so they
can be animated.
An alternate approach is to expose them as a single compound attribute
like in CSS3, e.g. 'distance angle color blurradius'.
See http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#the-box-shadow and
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/CR-css3-text-20030514/#text-shadows for more
details.
What do folks think? I have a change ready to go in, but Tucker
reminded me I should solicit feedback first. Thanks!
