A drop shadow question

[BrianE]

Qt 5.6 on Windows10. Using the analogue shapedclock as a template I created my own clock. I liked the old Windows7 desktop widgets clock with the red face so I used the face and hands from that. All works fine except that there are no nice drop shadows like on the original. Obviously something clever is going on somewhere and I cannot find it. I've searched here and in the documentation. Could anyone guide me towards a solution?

Hi,

Perhaps this might help? http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qgraphicsdropshadoweffect.html

Thank you. Investigated and tried it. You cannot do setGraphicsEffect on a QImage which is what I'm using to draw the clock face and hands. Still no shadows then.
