Hi, I encountered this puzzle recently. I had to put my Rectangle/Image _inside_ my RectangularGlow (I'm guessing you can replace RectangularGlow with DropShadow): RectangularGlow { color: "cyan" width: img.width height: img.height Image { id: img source: "myimage.jpg" } } On one hand, it makes sense because the Image is smaller than the RectangularGlow (so the Image is "inside" the RectangularGlow). On the other hand, this expression is counter-intuitive. I would love to hear if there's a better way to do this!
