Apple style, including shadow

[CavalcanteLeo]

I've seen some layout differences between apple style and GLNotificationBar.

Mostly is because of the missing shadow, where it doesn't show legible the notificationBar.

I've changed to the apple's look and feel, but for that, i needed to remove the UIVisualEffect. On the screenshot, the layout seems a bit different yet, like spaces, sizes and even bg colors, but it's only to show how it works with shadow.

I can submit a PR for that, but remember, it doesn't work well with UIVisualEffect

Shall i go further and change all look and feel to look exactly the same as apple, or leave like that? The bad thing is that the current banner is not readable with white layouts like mine.

You can try the diference using here:

pod 'GLNotificationBar', :git => 'git@github.com:CavalcanteLeo/GLNotificationBar.git', :branch => 'shadow'

and include setShadow true on the project

Here's how it looks with all colors variants

@CavalcanteLeo thanks for your initiative.

For now let it be like this ,Is that possible to add shadow to visual effect view ?. If so, no need to do major changes right.

[CavalcanteLeo]

Its not possible to add shadows on visual effect, i added a transparent uiview behind, and when active the shadow, i change the color to white

In fact, you can add shadow to UIVisualEffect, but as the view is half transparent, the shadow will appear inside too, looking terrible

Any news about it?

it's quite ugly and ineligible without shadow

[azhararmar]

Agreed, It is nice to have the shadow. It does look odd without the shadow.
