[Solved] QML Glow and DropShadow works for Text but fails for Image

elendilm

Glow and DropShadow elements in QtGraphicalEffects 1.0 works for Text Elements But when applied for Images, it fails.

I copy and pasted the Qt Example code but nothing happens. Displays the plain butterfly image.

@import QtQuick 2.0
import QtGraphicalEffects 1.0

Item {
width: 300
height: 300

Rectangle {
    anchors.fill: parent
}

Image {
    id: butterfly
    source: "images/butterfly.png"
    sourceSize: Qt.size(parent.width, parent.height)
    smooth: true
    visible: false
}

DropShadow {
    anchors.fill: butterfly
    horizontalOffset: 3
    verticalOffset: 3
    radius: 8.0
    samples: 16
    color: "#80000000"
    source: butterfly
}

}@

Using Qt 5.1.1 in Linux Mint KDE
also tested on Windows 7 with no results,

If the image contains transparent areas, then it glows, otherwise doesn't.
Thank you
