@PalmerAL https://www.google.com/design/spec/what-is-material/elevation-shadows.html#elevation-shadows-elevation-android- App bar: 4dp elevation?
@PalmerAL Regarding Material specs, we're good. However, I agree with @PalmerAL, this shadow should be smaller.
@pierremtb @PalmerAL I'm personally happy with the shadow. This is actually funny because in the past it was thinner and someone complained it was not thick enough. What elevation would you suggest?
Well there is no shadow anymore (I don't know why). I close this for now
I believe you disabled the shadow because it looks odd in combination with the CSD. Please keep things like this open if there is no solution otherwise we'd forget them.
@tim-sueberkrueb Yeah you're right (for both). By the way I think that it looks better without any toolbar shadow, because when the color option is enabled, there is very nice continuity (I don't know if it's the right word sorry) between the website header and the toolbar on some websites. But it's just my opinion. I think an option would be great (maybe a slider, from 0dp to 4dp). I will look into it (especially with CSD).
I was talking of something like that :
@pierremtb yeah, an option would be the best thing.
any update on this. i'm feeling leave it the way it is now.
Currently there is no shadow at all, but I personally think there should be one do make the difference between page and toolbar clearer.
i like it the way it is
I've been playing around with this shadow. Here are some screenshots with different metrics on the same website : the new MD version of G+
IMO, this toolbar shadow is a bit "too much" on a MD website, that uses a MD toolbar too. Another thing : there is no way to use the ink animation with a elevated toolbar, because it needs to be transparent to let the ink go under, which isn't possible with a shadow (because shadows in Qt are rectangles that go under the targeted component). Maybe we could make it optional : either you choose an elevated toolbar without the ink animation, or you choose a flat toolbar, with the ink animation.
Yeah I agree, the shadow will be too busy on a MD website.
Well, let's follow our guidelines : when we don't know, we add an option :)
I can finally close this issue!
The shadow distracts from the webpage a lot, and isn't material-like either - compare the shadow to http://www.google.com/design/spec/material-design/introduction.html#introduction-principles.
Might be a qml-material issue.
